The Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA), a community of the Auto Care Association, announced registration is open for its 74th Annual AWDA Conference.
The event will be held Oct. 31 – Nov. 3, 2021 at The Venetian Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. The AWDA Conference is an annual business event that brings together the premier companies of the industry for high-level, private, one-on-one business meetings.The AWDA conference, sponsored this year by Dorman Products, will signify the dynamic in-person return of the industry at the start of Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week (AAIW).
The AWDA Conference is built around a series of unique pre-scheduled one-on-one business meetings between distributors and their vendor partners. Participants are top decision-makers with member companies: both distributors and vendors. AWDA’s One-on-Ones are simply the most efficient way to conduct serious business during Industry Week.
For 2021, in response to attendee feedback and in an effort to maximize schedules and reduce travel costs, the AWDA Conference will kick off on Oct. 31, with its traditional Sunday Night General Session and Reception. One-on-Ones will be held all day on Monday, Nov. 1 and then the afternoons of Tuesday Nov. 2 and Wednesday Nov. 3.
The one-on-one’s will be held in guest suites located in the Venetian Tower of The Venetian Hotel. New for 2021, these suites will be located on guest floors accessible from all guestroom elevator banks of the Venetian Tower to allow for convenient access and travel. Having the one-on-one's in guest suites ensures confidentiality, comfortability, travel convenience, and most importantly, provides an environment that is conducive to the serious nature of discussions among the high-level attendees participating in these focused meetings.
