Network-logoGERMANTOWN, Tenn. – The Automotive Distribution Network’s 13th national convention has sold out, with a record-breaking crowd expected for the gathering taking place Feb. 26 through March 1 at the New Orleans Hyatt Regency.

“I salute the Network’s members for generating enthusiasm among their customer base for what should be our largest gathering yet,” said Mike Lambert, president of the Network. “The strong support from the Network’s manufacturer partners will be evident in our 50,000-square-foot expo area, enabling our members and their customers to have some face time with our vendors while checking out their latest products and services.”

Six-time world champion driver Clay Millican will make an appearance with the Parts Plus/Great Clips Top Fuel dragster, in addition to other motorsports stars appearing at the expo in New Orleans.

In anticipation of the sellout crowd, the Network signed several renowned seminar speakers to appear at the event to provide real-world training on topics ranging from vehicle diagnostics to social media to relationship-building with female customers.
