We met this week with Amy Collins and Matt Gruhn from Affinity Group about their upcoming ProfitXcelerator and Marine Dealer Conference & Expo events. After last year's events, we can tell you it didn't take long for us to renew our sponsorships this year. Both events featured outstanding educational content, dynamic exhibitors and hundreds of dealers and suppliers.
This year's ProfitXcelerator event takes place September 19-21 in Las Vegas, and
Marine Dealer Conference & Expo takes place November 15-17 in Orlando. We encourage dealers to check out the web 
sites and consider attending these great events. We'll share more about Manheim's plans at each of these events as the dates approach, and we'll look forward to seeing you there.

Powersports Business has announced that the 2010 Powersports
Business Conference and Expo - ProfitX - will take place September 19-21 at Red Rock Casino Resort Spa in Las Vegas.
Manheim Specialty Auctions was among the more than 350 attendees at the first ProfitX event in 2009. We learned a lot, developed some great relationships with dealers and felt like the event struck a very good balance between trade show, educational seminars, one-on-one discussions and networking.
You can follow event updates at www.powersportsbusiness.com/PSBCE, and we'll blog about where you can find us as the event draws closer. We'll look forward to seeing you there.
