The Automotive Distribution Network (The Network) has announced it will host its 14th Network National Convention at the “Happiest Place on Earth.” The Network’s 2018 gathering will be held March 15–18, 2018, at the Swan and Dolphin Resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

“For many of the Network’s affiliates, this national event is an opportunity to have a family vacation while learning ways to improve their businesses and networking with other like-minded business owners and personnel,” said David Prater, president of the Network. “With that mind, Walt Disney World is the perfect location for the 2018 Network National Convention, as this iconic theme park and resort truly offers something for everyone.”

The Walt Disney World Resort features three championship golf courses, 17 restaurants offering cuisine from every corner of the planet, complimentary shuttles to the four nearby Disney theme parks with the option of extra-hours access, and dazzling floor plans and meeting spaces.

The 2018 Network National Convention will host some of the industry’s most well-known seminar speakers, with topics geared toward the content suppliers and their service dealer customers need to grow their businesses. The convention’s popular Manufacturer’s Exposition also will return, providing Network members and their customers an opportunity to have face time with the group’s vendor partners, who will be showcasing their latest products and services throughout 50,000 square feet of space.
