LOUISVILLE (Oct. 25, 2001)—The International Tire & Rubber Association will hold the next World ITRA Expo in its home city two years from now.
The biennial conference and trade show will take place March 27-29, 2003, at the Kentucky International Convention Center in downtown Louisville, according to association officials.
A departure from previous Louisville shows which were held at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, southeast of that city, the association hopes the new location will be welcomed by most visitors.
ITRA Executive Director Marvin Bozarth said the new facility on Fourth Street location, opened just two years ago, is within easy walking distance of the city's downtown hotels and restaurants.
