At this year's Town Hall, Janet Schijns, vice president of medium business and channels for Verizon Enterprise Solutions, will preview future technology trends including cloud, advanced communications and machine-to-machine implications for the automotive aftermarket industry. Hosted by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA), the Town Hall breakfast, sponsored by Polk, will be held at 7 a.m. PST, Wednesday, Nov. 6. in the Palazzo Ballroom at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.
"Ignore the doom and gloom scenarios that are too often preached about the future of our industry, because Town Hall attendees are going to get a whole new perspective on how well-positioned our business is in the new communications world," said Kathleen Schmatz, AAIA president and CEO. "Get ready for unique expert insight on how we will conduct business and compete for business on the ground and in the cloud.
"Back by popular demand will be Polk's 'Five Trends in Five Minutes,' presented by Mark Seng, global aftermarket practice leader, Polk, to kick off the Town Hall program," said Schmatz.
