LAS VEGAS (Oct. 24, 2014) — More than 400 individuals have signed up for the Tire Industry Association's special events on Nov. 3 preceding the opening of TIA's 2014 Global Tire Expo in Las Vegas as part of the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show.
The special events consist of the TIA Cocktail Hour, the Tire Industry Honors Awards Ceremony and the TIA Welcome Reception, all scheduled for Caesar's Palace Las Vegas. Registration for these events is up more than 30 percent from 2013, TIA said, and is a record. “Having over 400 people at the Tire Industry Honors is a tribute to this year's honorees,” said TIA Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield.
Among the awards to be presented is the Tire Dealer Humanitarian, which recognizes an independent tire dealer or retreader who, during the past year, has made significant contributions to the betterrment of his or her community through charitable or public service work.
“They have all made significant impacts in the industry, and friends, family and TIA members all want to be there to congratulate them.”
Mr. Littlefield said he expects the number of special events registrants to grow. “Registrations are coming in daily,” he said.
