AAM Group to Celebrate 35 Years at Annual Meeting

Meeting brings together distribution members, supplier partners and technology vendors.

The AAM Group’s Annual Membership Meeting and Vendor Showcase will take place May 9–11, 2023, at the Embassy Suites in Frisco, Texas.  In addition to bringing together distribution members and supplier partners for three days of networking, purchasing, education and prospecting, the meeting will celebrate AAM’s 35th anniversary.  

In addition to the meeting’s two classic trade show formats—The Net and the Vendor Showcase—the event will feature guest speaker appearances from Lippert leadership development coach Bill Coughlin and RealTruck CEO Carl-Martin Lindahl.  Also slated to speak is the man who spearheaded AAM’s creation, competition sales president Carl Schultea.

Finally, the event will see the presentation of awards to members and suppliers in several categories, such as the Member of the Year and Partnership Awards, and the honoring of prominent figures in AAM’s history, including its first President, H. G. Smith.
