ITEC 2010 is all about con-
tent. Manufacturing
Co nf e r ence Chairman, Harold
Herzlich has an extensive back-
ground in the technology side
of the tire manufacturing busi-
ness. Ray Evans, aftermarket
conference chair as well as
ITEC’s tire dealer Advisory
Council fully understand the
aftermarket is first and fore-
most a retailing business.
According to Bob Simmons, V.P.
Crain Communications,
Publications Director, Founder
and Executive Director of ITEC,
"Today’s tire dealer and manu-
facturer is facing challenges and
turbulences in the marketplace
not seen for decades. Our indus-
try needs to be aggressive to
remain competitive. It needs
new ‘what if’ ideas from making
manufacturing operations more
effective to finding better ways
of distributing the product.
ITEC is the premiere confer-
ence and exhibit our industry
has lacked.”
ITEC registration for inde-
pendent tire dealers and distrib-
utors and for personnel at tire
manufacturing facilities is $50.

The registration for suppliers to the tire industry is $200.

Registration includes:

• Three days packed with
outstanding educational
opportunities
• Three days of an exhibit
environment for dealers, the
automotive aftermarket and
tire manufacturers
• Three days of networking
and socializing activities

“I am particularly delighted that ITEC management has instituted an unheard of precedent of a meeting registration fee of only $50. The objective is to help all job levels in the manufacturing and distribution segment of the tire industry to participate during ITEC week and enhance their practical knowledge, their energy level and their passion for tires,” said Harold Herzlich.
