The Advanced Engineering Technology Conference (AETC) was established to provide a forum for performance engine builders and engineers to exchange information, review tech trends and share best practices with their colleagues. The knowledge attendees will gain and the networking opportunities that are available during the show can help them to grow their businesses far into the future.
Featured speakers include Alan Reinhart, the voice of the NHRA; Jon Kaase, Kaase Racing Engines; Ray Evernham, NASCAR Hall of Fame 2018 inductee; and Keith Dorton, Automotive Specialists.
Make plans now to register for AETC 2017, which takes place December 5–6, at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. It’s the only event that brings together the leading experts from all disciplines of high-performance engine building and design to share the latest technologies and applications.
Here are are five more reasons to attend:
1. See the Latest Tech
At AETC 2017, attendees will get a firsthand look at the latest advances in the performance engineering industry. The show’s new-product display provides the opportunity to review the latest parts and products up close. Attendees will also receive exclusive product and equipment discounts, samples and coupons from some of the industry’s leading manufacturers.
2. Learn From The Experts
At AETC, attendees will learn from some of the performance engineering industry’s greatest innovators—pro engine builders, engineers and manufacturers—who will impart more information over two days than attendees would learn in months at the race track. When it comes to discussing and discovering engineering solutions, this is a conference attendees can’t afford to miss.
3. Network With Industry Leaders
During AETC, there’s always time to socialize with featured speakers, industry influencers and fellow attendees. The sense of camaraderie that’s fostered at the show can help attendees build valuable relationships that can benefit their companies long after the conference is over.
4. Promote Your Brand
In addition to industry networking opportunities, members of the automotive press also come to AETC, which gives attendees the opportunity to boost their business’ market presence through available press coverage. Attendees can use this opportunity to promote their own products to members of the media.
5. AETC Sponsor Giveaways
Every person who attends an AETC event leaves with some type of prize or gift certificate that is donated by conference sponsors. Whether it’s increased knowledge, new business partnerships or valuable swag, no one leaves AETC empty-handed.
