Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) announced Wednesday legendary NFL Hall of Famer Cris Carter will be keynote speaker at its 2024 event.
In his opening general session talk, taking place on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2024, Carter will draw from his remarkable career, life, and media expertise to inspire leaders to be fully ready to lead, drive change, and overcome adversity.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history, Carter spent 16 years (1987-2002) suiting up for the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, and Miami Dolphins. After retiring with the second-most receptions and touchdowns as a receiver in the history of the NFL, Carter entered the media, serving as an analyst and host on HBO, ESPN, and Fox Sports.
Throughout his storied NFL career, Carter garnered numerous accolades, earning eight Pro Bowl selections and securing his place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013. Beyond his athletic achievements, Carter has evolved into a revered sports analyst and motivational speaker, making him a highly sought-after figure for many Fortune 500 companies and events.
“We’re honored to welcome Cris Carter as our keynote for Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week this year,” says Nicole Oreskovic, vice president of Sales and Marketing at Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, and HDAW 2024 supplier co-chair. “Cris’ illustrious career, marked by excellence, is a powerful metaphor for the challenges and triumphs in the heavy-duty aftermarket industry. His journey mirrors our commitment and a renewed focus on being fully equipped for the evolving landscape.”
“HDAW 2024 is on track to rival last year’s record-breaking event, with another sold-out show floor, and more than 1,900 One-on-One prescheduled meetings,” adds Michael Callison Jr., president and CEO at Midwest Wheel Companies and HDAW 2024 distributor co-chair. “And on top of that, we are adding a new closing reception experience at AT&T Stadium, which is proving to be a very in-demand event.”
