At 20 weeks out from AIMExpo’s return to Columbus on September 26-29, the industry’s show continues to gain traction. A total of 17 countries are already represented with both trade attendees and exhibitors. Pavilions from the Italian Trade Association, Taiwan and China. Preregistrations have come in from dealers in 42 states — up 14% over Las Vegas and a whopping 22% more preregistered dealers than Columbus 2017 at the 20 week mark.
With the increase in dealers comes more business. "A great example of why I attend AIMExpo was last year when we were able to view and directly talk with two new vehicle lines, Vanderhall and ROXOR,” says Iron Pony President Chris Jones. “We are proud to now carry both lines at our dealerships. Being able to see actual models and talk one on one with the factory personnel made all the difference in our decisions to pick up both of these manufacturers.”
