We hope you take the time to attend the 14th annual Car Rental Show, our industry’s premier gathering! We are particularly delighted this year to continue working in partnership with the American Car Rental Association (ACRA). Your industry’s association has been working hard to promote sensible legislation as well as the overall health and professionalism of the car rental industry.
Our staff has been working in conjunction with ACRA to deliver a conference that will help you operate your business more efficiently and profitably. It includes an august assembly of industry experts who will provide cutting edge seminars that examine the latest market trends, best practices and technological developments impacting the car rental industry.
We urge you to attend all the sessions and ask you to take every opportunity to meet with our sponsors and exhibitors when the Exhibit Hall is open. Also, be sure to attend our roundtables and networking receptions where you’ll be able to meet with your peers and make new industry contacts.
I would like to thank all the sponsors of the 2009 Car Rental Show, as well as the speakers and panel members who have contributed their time, experience and knowledge in support of our industry. I hope you have a great time in Las Vegas!
Sincerely,
