Dealer Expo takes advantage of expanded Indy venue

USA - Advanstar Communications has confirmed the Dealernews International Powersports Dealer Expo will take over the newly expanded Indiana Convention Centre next year.

The auto dealer and distributor event has not been held under one roof since it moved to Indianapolis in 1998.

"After polling many of our attendees and exhibitors, we are convinced that this new Friday to Sunday schedule, as opposed to Saturday to Monday, will enhance the buying and selling experience at Dealer Expo," said Advanstar's Powersports Group VP and GM, Tracy Harris. "The majority of our participants feel Friday will be a huge success.

"For the first time since moving the expo to Indianapolis in 1998, Dealer Expo will be centralised under one roof," Harris added.

The event covers a variety of lifestyle and product segments, from parts and accessory categories to business services. The event takes place 18-20 February 2011.
