Promoted as “eForum 2.0,” this annual event has been re-made into a strategic planning conference with a technology foundation for business leaders from all disciplines in the aftermarket. Aftermarket eForum™ promises to deliver innovative strategies and solutions for aftermarket manufacturers, parts retailers and wholesalers, as well as retail service providers. Those with responsibilities for marketing, e-business, operations, supply chain, logistics, product planning and more are sure to derive value from the unprecedented line-up of expert speakers and panels.
“I authorized the unusual measure of offering a money-back guarantee because I feel so strongly that no member of the aftermarket family can afford to stay away from this conference and all that it has to offer,” said Kathleen Schmatz, AAIA president and CEO. “Where else are you going to hear from Google, eBay Motors, UPS, Microsoft, U.S. Department of Transportation, Polk and many others in a single venue? These companies are directly shaping the future of the aftermarket and our members have a responsibility to listen and learn from them.”
eForum has also extended Early-Bird registration rates through June 22. Members can register the first attendee for $695 and additional representatives from their company for $595. Non-members can register for $895 for the first and $795 for additional attendees. The association has secured a very attractive rate of $149 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, Ill. – all designed to make this outstanding program available to the industry at the lowest possible cost.
The complete agenda and registration forms are available on the association’s website at www.aftermarket.org/eforum.
