Performance Warehouse Association Expands 2010 Annual Conference



Invitations will be given to any brick and mortar distributor that stocks and redistributes performance, automotive, truck and SUV accessories and equipment, including those selling via mail order or the Internet.

 
Due to economic, legislative and technology issues, the global automotive aftermarket will experience more change in the next 10 years than it has in the past 50. Already, the landscape of the distribution channel has shifted dramatically. In an effort to fulfill its mission statement, and to be inclusive of all companies in the business of wholesale distribution of performance, automotive, truck and SUV accessories and equipment, the Performance Warehouse Association (PWA) has announced that its Annual Conference will be made available in 2010 to more than just its members.

The PWA Conference is an exclusive opportunity for manufacturers and warehouse distributors of specialty products to meet in a private, professional environment to discuss sales and marketing policies and programs. This is the time when the governing body gathers feedback from attendees to meet its main objective of developing the best possible understanding of all facets of the industry. By opening it up to all distributors of automotive aftermarket parts, they will be able to not only accomplish that goal more effectively, but provide better business opportunities for all attendees.

Invitations will be given to any brick and mortar distributor that stocks and redistributes performance, automotive, truck and SUV accessories and equipment, including those selling via mail order or the Internet. If the distributor is a SEMA member also serving as a SEMA council member, attendance will be accepted. If not, the prospective distributor must be sponsored by three PWA member manufacturers. PWA will handle details of this requirement.

The 2010 PWA Conference is scheduled for Sept. 25-29, held annually at the Arizona Grand Resort in Phoenix, Ariz.
