APRA Launches 'In It to Win It' Campaign



Association launches marketing effort to attract more attendees and exhibitors to annual Big R Show.

 
The Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association (APRA) has launched a campaign to promote the 2009 International BIG R Show to potential exhibitors and attendees. The 2009 International Big R Show will take place Oct. 31 – Nov. 2 in Las Vegas.

The BIG R Show will be co-located at The Riviera Hotel & Casino with ATRA’s Powertrain Expo. Both shows take place just prior to the AAPEX and SEMA Shows, so that attendees can enjoy all of the expositions for the price of one airline ticket.

To make the event more attractive to rebuilders/remanufacturers, a Heavy Duty Engine section has been added to this year’s show, sponsored by Engine Builder magazine. A number of management and technical presentations, as well as networking opportunities will be available.

“The BIG R Show and the Powertrain Expo will be the only place in the world to plug in to all these positive programs that will help your business grow and prosper in the years to come,” said APRA in announcing the new ‘In It to Win It’ campaign. “The economic recovery is coming and every attendee needs to be properly prepared for all the new challenges and opportunities ahead.”

For details and updates on the International BIG R Show visit www.BIGRShow.com and www.ATRA.com for their Powertrain Expo.
