In response to the many requests we’ve received over the years from the dealer network and manufacturers to allow end-users/customers into the exhibit hall, the AEA board of directors has discussed and approved a trial run of allowing dealers’ customers the opportunity to visit the exhibit hall on the last day of exhibits – Saturday, March 15. This will be allowed under very strict guidelines.
As you know, it can be very helpful to have the manufacturer work with the dealer in closing the sale on a new installation.

Please note that the “customer” attendees will not be allowed into any of the technical workshops on Saturday. Those are designed exclusively for the repair station attendees. These customers will be easily recognized with different color badge inserts and lanyards.
