ORLAND PARK, IL — The deadline for distributors to register online for the One-on-One Business Meetings Program at the Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) Conference has been extended to Friday, Dec. 22. HDAW 2007 will be held Jan. 22-25 at the Mirage in Las Vegas.
More than 90 exhibitors have registered for the 2007 meetings, with the potential of 1,600 distributor-supplier meetings. The one-on-one meetings in 2006 received high marks in distributors’ post-conference evaluations, with more than 1,200 meetings arranged.

One-on-One Business Meetings between the senior management of manufacturers and distributors provide the forum for decision-makers to focus on issues relating directly to participants’ heavy-duty aftermarket business relationships.
