How To Qualify

The staff of Powersports Business magazine hand-selects the roster of dealers that are invited to attend PowersportsBusinessCongress each year.

Specifically, we look for multi-point dealership with equal geographic disbursement and varying levels of overlap in different markets and/or product lines carried. Participating dealers—whose attendance is paid for by PSBC—must agree to send the principal/owner of the company, although many previous participants have brought various level of their management team along at their expense. If you are interested in being considered for PSBC, contact Lori Hackett, Event Director, at 763-383-4449.

You Control Your Agenda

When you participate in PowersportsBusinessCongress, you control the agenda. You’ll meet top-level executives representing suppliers ranging from those that are moving into the powersports industry to established companies. Take the time to build your relationships with executives that can positively impact the way you do business. And you can do it in a fraction of the time it normally takes—away from the typical daily distractions of your dealership.

Here’s How It Works

Since 1998, the powersports industry has relied on Powersports Business magazine for the most authoritative coverage of breaking business and financial news affecting this $40 billion industry. PowersportsBusinessCongress is a natural brand extension to the ongoing thoughtful analysis of industry trends and happenings we provide to help improve your business.

Each participating supplier company will be provided a suite in which to conduct confidential discussions with your management team. As an invited dealer participant, you will be escorted from suite to suite for 40-minute scheduled appointments with each participating supplier. The suppliers will use the privacy of their suites to most appropriately address your needs with one-on-one discussions. Limited, alternative open times will be provided throughout the three-day event should participants wish to expand their meeting times.

"I acquired more knowledge in my 40-minute supplier meetings than I have in all the years I’ve been dealing with those companies. I formed at least four new business relationships. I already have new retail product in the store from two manufacturers, and I’m selling extended warranties from a new F&I supplier. At least half of these new suppliers have checks from us already."
Jim Faiella, President, Peacock Ltd.

 

 

 

“If you look at the cost-benefit analysis, it makes a great deal of sense to meet a lot of the key, elite dealers that are here in one location, at one time. I also think it is good, as a vendor, to be associated with an event like this.”
