United under the theme “Foundation for the Future,” the 2017 VIPAR Heavy Duty annual Business Conference will take place Oct. 15-20 at the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes in Florida. The VIPAR Heavy Duty Annual Business Conference brings together distributors, supplier partners and industry associates in a forum for information exchange, open dialogue and an opportunity to share insights on navigating the challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving independent heavy-duty aftermarket.

The structure of the week includes the annual stockholder meeting, a general session, trade show, more than 1,400 one-to-one stockholder/supplier partner meetings, as well as networking events.
