ith over 400 quality V-Twin exhibitors utilizing over 1100 booths on two floors of the Cinergy Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, February 4-6, 2006 the V-Twin Expo by Easyriders has become the world's largest V-Twin trade show in just five short years.
     "When I first began planning the V-Twin Expo, I wanted to build a pure V-Twin-focused show, nothing more, and nothing less. When you have spent as many years as I have in this great industry, you know what it means when a dealer says, "Show me relevant product to my business, show me products and services that will deliver to my bottom line." Five years ago I knew it was the right time, right place, right price and the right kind of show. Clearly the success of the V-Twin Expo is causing other promoters to rethink their strategy." explained Jim Betlach, Show Producer V-Twin Expo. He continued, "If you are a V-Twin dealer, the V-Twin Expo is your show. The Expo represents an undiluted, pure V-Twin focused show for dealers in the V-Twin marketplace."
     The 6th annual V-Twin Expo will be bigger and better than ever for v-twin dealers. The Expo is not a consumer show. With the main hall renovation at the convention center complete this year, the show gains an additional 43,000 feet. "The expansion allows us to accept more companies as exhibitors which in turn provide dealers a better selection of product," said Betlach.
     Two industry legends kick off the 2006 seminars at the Expo, John Wyckoff and Jon Kosmoski. If you were able to catch their presentations last time around, you know how valuable they can be to your business. For 2006 both will be delivering new, dealer oriented seminars like the Power of 1% and the Latest Trends in Standard and Custom Refinishing. V-Twin Expo will also welcome a new speaker, Dale Lingard. Dale will be presenting an informative seminar on insurance.
     Back by popular demand in 2006 are the panel seminars. Throughout these panel discussions you are invited to speak directly with the pros- from engine experts to aftermarket exhaust. Ask those questions you can't get answers to back at home. Join the Open Forum discussion with the M.I.C American V-Twin group on Monday or check out the all-new V-Twin Expo discussion to hear what's happening in legislation and how it will impact your business today and tomorrow. This outlines just a few of the things dealers can find at the 6th annual V-Twin Expo.
