As the year is (almost) coming to an end, approaching is the 2014 Annual AED Summit & CONDEX Trade Show, scheduled for January 15-17 in Houston, TX. Attracting AED (Associated Equipment Distributors) Members and top professionals in the construction industry, the AED Summit & CONDEX Trade Show contributes to the building of sound business relationships.

AED2Among the elite and premiere conventions for equipment distributorships, the Summit, which will be held at the Hilton Americas Houston, is designed specifically around the opportunity to preview new products and merchandise, shake hands with prospective business partners, frequent a handful of educational seminars, network with industry peers, and meet dealer professionals from across North America. Highlights of the Summit include a Cabaret Night Benefit, Marketing, Product Support, and Executive Seminars, and a handful of speakers, which include Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, M.D., Jason Dorsey, founder of “The Gen Y-Guy”, and Marty Regalia, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Similarly, the CONDEX Trade Show, a slightly separate aspect of the event, makes up for 50 percent of the entire Summit and is being hosted at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. Geared toward professionals and top executives working within the equipment distribution industry, CONDEX is intended to help introduce companies, products, and services and allow them to network with current distributors.

  • ADI Agency | Protect My Iron | Extended Service Contracts WarrantyExtended Warranty for Construction Equipment:  We understand that manufacturers and distributors take risks every time they sell a product – risks like reliability and dependability, to product liability wherein a product causes harm to its user. With warranty parts, design and assembly can fail and cause collateral damage to parts near the failure. Many manufacturers see the inherent risk in selling their product yet fail to see the opportunity to use the occasional defect in the manufacturing errors as touch points for customer contact, as opportunities to achieve real customer satisfaction and a real ongoing relationship with the customer buying more parts and repair services and more equipment. But we view Extended Warranty as the metric that identifies the shortfall between the customers’ expectation of the reliability and dependability of the product they purchased and the actual design, content and assembly performance. It is the management tool driving customer satisfaction for the entire ownership experience. We’ll offer you extended service contract programs along with training, administration and marketing support. ADI works with its customers to create a strategy around extended service contracts, transferring your risk and providing you with quality options to offer to your dealerships customers. The experts at ADI will aid in the process at every step, doing the advance preparation to make the experience valuable.
