The American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) says it is set to attract nearly 20,000 domestic and international dealers, industry personnel and enthusiasts to the annual event in October.
With this year’s focus on strengthening dealer attendance and creating greater opportunities for dealers to ‘Do Business’ at the show, National Powersport Auctions (NPA) is among the vendors to announce that it is to expand its partnership with the show by hosting a dealer-only auction live from the tradeshow floor, participate in the dealer seminars and provide dealer training on the show floor.
“Educational seminars, events and promotions are just the starting point”, says NPA Chief Operations Officer Jim Woodruff. “By giving attendees access to current industry data and information on seasonal trends, dealers gain insight on what is relevant and valuable to their business”.
Larry Little, Vice President and General Manager of AIMExpo, adds: “The vital role of a tradeshow is facilitating B2B interaction, creating the opportunity to conduct trade level business at the event. Partnering with NPA to host an auction at AIMExpo falls right in line with the ‘Do Business’ philosophy, along with our goal to seek out new activities that increase a dealer’s ROI for attending the show”.
The organisers recently announced that advance dealer registration was running at +148 percent compared to 2015, and that as at end of August over 400 confirmed vendors would be exhibiting, including most of the major OE motorcycle manufacturers.
Being staged in the North Hall at the Orange County Convention Center at Orlando, Florida, AIMExpo is open to trade and media visitors only on October 13th/14th, and to all visitors on October 15th/16th.
Features this year include the “Made In America” product showcase, the Championship of the Americas custom bike show (an AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building official affiliate event), ‘Retro Affair’ – a vintage motorcycle show, Powersports Dealer Seminars (presented by Powersports Business), the MotoAmerica Night of Champions, AMA Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Legends and Heroes of Supercross and outdoor exhibits, action areas and test ride opportunities adjacent to the North Hall.
