Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW), located in Orlando, Florida the week of February 16-19, 2009, is a distributor-focused conference presented by the industry’s leading trade associations and market groups. These are challenging times. All opportunities must be maximized, and businesses must have the ability to act quickly to meet rapidly changing competitive environments.
The theme selected by industry leaders planning HDAW ’09 reflects the need to introduce new business philosophies that will give a company an upper hand, to capitalize on any competitive advantage you may have and to use this edge to leverage any growth and maintain current profit levels. The HDAW ’09 conference focuses on maximizing opportunities, and promises to provide the highest value of any previous industry event. Our intention is to arm distributors with new knowledge and easily implemented advanced key business tools that will immediately benefit them.
HDAW attracts the HD industry’s top executives and speakers. Registration includes a comprehensive distributor education program, pre-scheduled one-on-one business meetings, an all-industry awards luncheon, multiple networking opportunities, receptions and meals, and a 100,000 sq. ft. aftermarket-focused product expo.
