BETHESDA, Md. -- Products and marketing programs for import nameplate cars and trucks have never been hotter. And now, AAPEX exhibitors can showcase their market offerings all week long in the AIA Product and Marketing Awards display area in the high-traffic Sands Expo Center upper lobby.

Register by Wednesday, Sept. 22 and get this valuable exposure for only $140 per entry, early-bird pricing (vs. $190 regular), plus receive free pre-AAPEX publicity in ImportCar and Counterman magazines. The special pricing makes it easier to enter multiple awards categories – there are seven to consider.  

The AIA Program offers entrants the chance for great exposure before, during and after AAPEX. All entries will have year-long exposure for photos of entries displayed in a gallery on the AIA website. New for 2010, the virtual AIA Awards gallery will provide links to the websites of all participating companies.

The awards will be presented at a Nov. 2 press briefing, and award recipients are honored at the Nov. 3 AIA Luncheon and Awards Program. A special post-AAPEX full-page trade press advertisement will salute award winners. Winning entrants will be able to maximize their awards in year-round advertising and marketing campaigns, plus the free pre-show publicity advantages of registering by the new deadline of Sept. 22.
