GenNext and the Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network (CVSN) announced Tuesday they have now sold all 175 distributor attendee openings for its second annual Distributor Training Expo, and have only a few remaining sponsorship positions for suppliers interested in training a nationwide sales force at the event.
Scheduled for April 21-23, 2017, at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, the Distributor Training Expo was designed as an opportunity for aftermarket suppliers to provide high-quality one-on-one training to a nationwide sales force of more than 175 people over the course of two days. This single-location format saves each supplier a considerable amount of time and money in both travel, housing and other expenses, organizers say, and allow each company to quickly assemble a national sales force that regularly interacts with end users each day.
Suppliers have two options when signing up for the event: a Gold-level sponsorship ($20,000) or a Silver-level sponsorship ($10,000). All supplier spots are limited and are on a first-come first-serve basis. Organizers say they are only a few spots still available.
Organizers say the supplier fee to participate includes:
- Classroom and booth training area space so you can network, discuss and train 175 of the front line sellers of your product in the aftermarket (each distributor attendee will have 4-6 hours on the trade show floor).
- All meals and networking receptions
- A 10 ft. x 20 ft. (Gold) or 10 ft. x 10 ft. (Silver) individual training area booths based on sponsor level.
- If suppliers want to bring extra manpower above the for attendees included in the Gold-level sponsorship and two attendees in the Silver-level sponsorship, the cost is $495.00 per extra person to cover F&B.
- Gold sponsors will receive one hour long training session for all 175 distributor attendees.
- Silver sponsors will receive two 30-minute training timeslots for 25-50 distributor attendees.
Organizers say suppliers are only required to submit a 50 percent deposit to reserve a sponsorship during registration, with the balance able to be paid in two 25 percent installments by Friday, Jan. 27 and Friday, Feb. 24, 2017.
Additionally, organizers say that while distributor openings have filled up, interested parties are still eligible to sign up for a wait list for a chance to potentially attend the event.
