Over one hundred qualified leads have been reported so far by this year’s Exhibitors, and we expect to sell out of space in the EXPO Hall early.  So if you’re a vendor and interested in meeting dealers who are open to the best ideas to promote their dealerships and sell more cars, this is the show for you to come to.

 

In 2011, Dealer registrations were up over 20%, with a record first time attendee list.  Exhibitors increased nearly 25% with nearly 20 new exhibitors.  The opening reception, featuring NC TV reality stars Ron and Amy from Lizard Lick Towing and Recovery was a big “lick’n” hit.
