9:00 - 10:30 am Technical Session #1
10:30 - 10:45 am Morning Break
10:45 am - Noon Technical Session #2
Noon - 1:15 pm Lunch - Meal will be provided on-site

Everyone in business owes it to themselves and their business to gain knowledge and network with other people who are in the same industry as they are. AERA understands that traveling to national trade shows to gain this knowledge and networking opportunities is very expensive. Therefore, AERA has decided to help by teaming up with a regional host and offer these opportunities to different regions of our country and hopefully closer to your shop.

Along with the outlined technical programs, AERA is inviting leading manufacturers of engine building/rebuilding tools, supplies, services, parts and machinery to attend this conference. These suppliers will have table-top displays that will be accessible all day long. Meeting these suppliers in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to begin lifelong relationships that will help you prosper.
