The organizers of Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week 2010 have announced topics for the workshops and business and technical theater topics, which revolve around the conference's theme of "Achieving Success in a Changing Environment."
The event will take place Jan. 18-21 at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

The eight education sessions include:
• The All-New Heavy-Duty Aftermarket Forum and Industry Forecast

• Sales Has Nothing To Do With Selling

More than 1,400 managers and executives from 17 countries - including distributors, manufacturers, service providers, educators and media - attended the 2009 conference in Orlando. An even larger group is expected for the 2010 event.
