Multiple receptions scheduled at VIPAR Heavy Duty meeting

When VIPAR Heavy Duty members reach Florida next week for the group’s annual meeting, set for Oct. 19-24 at the Marco Island Marriott in Marco Island, Fla., they will have multiple chances to celebrate.

Now in its 25^th year, VIPAR Heavy Duty will host an anniversary celebration at 7:30 p.m. Monday that the company says will require “a night time sky.”

VIPAR requests all attendees arrive 15 minutes early in preparation for the big event.

And Monday’s activities won’t be the only parties in Marco. VIPAR Heavy Duty also will hold a welcome reception on Sunday, and GenNext, the industry’s newest heavy-duty aftermarket mentorship group, will hold a happy hour for guests from 5 to 6 p.m. before Monday’s big reception.
