Exhibitor Prospectus Available for 2013 AEA Trade Show
First Placement for Exhibit Space Takes Place Oct. 5
The 2013 AEA Exhibitor Prospectus is being mailed to past exhibitors this summer, and the first placement for booth space is Oct. 5. The 56th annual AEA International Convention & Trade Show takes place March 25-28, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nev., at the MGM Grand Hotel & Convention Center. “For companies that offer products or services to the general aviation industry through a dealers’ network, you don’t want to miss out on reaching hundreds of current and potential dealers all in one place at the AEA Trade Show,” said Debra McFarland, AEA executive vice president. “It’s the perfect opportunity to personally network with hundreds of qualified decisionmakers under one roof. In this new world of social media, text messaging, emailing and webinars, one thing remains constant: Our attendees still want to see, touch and talk product… face-toface.” For more information about exhibiting at the AEA Trade Show, contact Debra McFarland at debbiem@aea.net or 816-347-8400 to request an AEA Exhibitor Prospectus and contract. q
