The Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network (CVSN) is thrilled to announce that registration is now open for The Summit 2024. This year's event will be held September 9-12, 2024, at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Summit is designed to bring together top executives and key decision-makers from across the Commercial Vehicle Aftermarket industry for three days of unparalleled networking, insightful discussions, and strategic planning.
The Summit includes four strong keynote speakers focusing on CVSN's Pillar Communities: Legislative, Industry Awareness/Marketing, Education/GenNext, and Technology. CVSN members also have the option to conduct 30-minute presentations and discussions known as Supplier and Distributor Spotlights, focused on executive level initiatives with their key current and potential distribution-chain or supply-chain partners.
CVSN presents the annual President's Award at The Summit, which recognizes those individuals who have contributed greatly to the Commercial Vehicle Aftermarket. Also presented at the meeting is the GenNext "4 Under 40" Award, honoring four outstanding individuals under the age of 40 making their marks on the Commercial Vehicle Aftermarket industry.
This event provides the independent commercial vehicle distribution chain a unique opportunity to meet and develop strong business relationships at the highest levels of each organization to keep the industry strong.

Tuesday, September 10

Legislative Community Meeting
The Legislative Pillar Community is the industry's consolidated voice on legislation and regulations affecting our members' ability to compete in their marketplace. We work to educate elected representatives - and our own members - on key issues like "Right to Repair". By simply elevating awareness of new laws can make a significant difference to our members.
During this session, the community co-chairs will review the past year's activities and lead a discussion on establishing future priorities and work groups.
NOTE: Anyone can attend the community meetings, but it is recommended that each attendee pick one community and participate in its entirety.

Industry Awareness / Marketing Pillar Community focuses on innovative ways to present the industry as essential, reliable, and growing. Additionally, we need to attract new talent - individuals ranging from skilled technicians to executives with entrepreneurial experience and business savvy. The level of professionalism continues to grow in the industry, but we need to find more people who can continue to make the independent side stronger.

Education / GenNext Community Meeting
Our Education / GenNext Community focuses on developing the current and future industry's work force at all levels, ranging from the senior executives to the future leaders to the industry rookies. While the level of knowledge and expertise in the product has been a significant advantage for independent distributors over its competitors, transferring that knowledge to others within their organization is an ongoing obstacle.

Education / GenNext Community Meeting
The Technology Pillar Community focuses on identifying common platforms, formats, and related processes that would be more impactful with greater industry adoption. This reduces the time required to install and implement and increases overall project ROI. As the need for systems to systems integration increases, the need for distributors, suppliers and third-party providers to partner on projects also increases.
