Event Details

The Summit is the association's premier event focused on strategy and networking. This event is packed full of both business and social opportunities allowing attendees to learn from each other.



The Summit always includes a strong speaker lineup focused on CVSN's Four Pillars Communities. Additionally, members conduct 30-minute presentations/discussions known as Supplier and Distributor Spotlights, focused on executive level initiatives with their key current and potential distribution-chain or supply-chain partners.



Also at the Summit, CVSN presents the annual President's Award, which recognizes those individuals who have contributed greatly to the Commercial Vehicle aftermarket as well as the GenNext "4 Under 40" Award, honoring four outstanding individuals under 40 making their marks in the industry. And not to missed is the industry's annual "John Bzeta Children's" charity auction, held on the final night of the event with proceeds going to a local children's hospital.



The Summit provides the independent commercial vehicle distribution chain a great event to meet and develop strong business relationships at the highest levels of each organization that keep the industry strong. Even the social events are designed to create as many "collisions of minds" as possible, allowing each attendee their own opportunities to find and build their personal networks.
