The Association of Diesel Specialist announced its recent 54th annual meeting – the 2010 ADS International Convention and Tradeshow in Grapevine, Texas – drew record attendance with 650 participants.
The meeting, themed “Branding Clean Diesel,” included seminars, workshops, technical training, panel discussions and networking events. Educational seminars included presentations by several industry manufacturers, a representative from the Diesel Technology Forum and technical discussions on turbochargers and hydraulic hybrid solutions.
At the start of the Convention attendees took a moment to remember founding member and first ADS President Herbert Wittersheim who passed away July 25 at the age of 89. The 2010 ADS Convention marked the first ADS Convention that Wittersheim missed.
Next year’s show is scheduled for Aug. 2-6 at the Wynn Las Vegas in Las Vegas.
ADS also announced that its new president, Chuck Hess, vice president of H.G. Makelim Co, officially began his term in conjunction with the show.
