2023 Spring NVP Product Expo Hits Record Attendance

There was also a 40% increase in exhibit space.

The Parts Unlimited and Drag Specialties in-person NVP Product Expo returned to Louisville, Kentucky, after three years and proved to be the best attended Expo to date.

The Expo took place Jan. 21-22 at the Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC) and hit its highest attendee numbers with 2,121 dealer attendees and an overall attendance of over 2,800. With a 40% increase in exhibit space, there was more room for the record number of attendees as well as many new vendors to the Expo.

The Expo weekend kicked off on Thursday with training for the Parts Unlimited and Drag Specialties sales team and extended into Friday, where attendees had additional opportunities to visit vendor displays to get a sneak peak of what’s new for 2023.

On Saturday and Sunday, exciting new brands and products were unveiled along with opportunities to connect with the industry’s leading brand representatives. Dealers attending the expo received expo discounts and additional incentives from participating vendors.

Saturday evening brought the industry together for the iconic Meet & Greet, which took place at The Sports & Social Club in the heart of downtown Louisville’s 4th Street Live Entertainment District. Food, drinks, games and live entertainment were the perfect way to wrap up the day.
