CTDA President Chris Barry of The Independent Tire Dealer Group (ITDG) will be the Master of Ceremonies. Gold sponsors to date are Federated Insurance, Yokohama, Lakin Tire, Pirelli and 1-800EveryRim, along with Silver Sponsors ATV American Tire Depot and Net Driven.

“With all due respect to our important speakers, the best part of our event is the pre-luncheon social period, including refreshments and appetizers. I call it socially networking the old-fashioned way,” said CTDA board member and event underwriter Billy Eordekian of 1-800EveryRim - OEM Wheels.

The event is free to tire- and wheel-related industry vendors and dealers. Those interested in attending, sponsoring or providing door prizes should contact Eordekian at billy@1-800EveryRim.com.
