Feb. 22, 2008

The Tire Industry Association's (TIA) recent Commercial Tire, Retread & Recycling Conference drew at least 60% more attendees than last year.

The 2007 event, which was held in conjunction with the Technology & Maintenance Council Show, had 404 attendees, including 294 from the commercial tire/retread market and 110 from the tire recycling sector.

"We were very pleased with the over 60% increase in attendance over last year's (show)," says TIA Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield. "It shows the value attendees place on educational opportunities and keeping up with industry trends."

The conference was held Feb. 5-7 in Orlando, Fla.
