By his own estimate, ASI\u2019s Nick DiNicola has logged about a half-million miles since the first Advantages Roadshow in 2007.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not done yet.\"\"<\/p>\n

The industry\u2019s largest and best-attended traveling show just announced its 2011 schedule, which will take the roadshow general manager throughout the United States and Canada, including a first-time stop in Birmingham, AL (home of the Vulcan, the world\u2019s largest cast-iron statue at 56 feet and 120,000 pounds).<\/p>\n

After nearly four years on the road, Nick\u2019s seen a lot of\u00a0country \u2013 and collected a mountain of trivia. In 2011, he\u2019ll learn a whole lot more.\u00a0In 16 weeks, he\u2019ll bring together thousands of suppliers, distributors and decorators during\u00a076 local roadshows throughout North America.<\/p>\n

To see the entire schedule, click here<\/a>.\u00a0 And please note: Suppliers can now reserve 2011 space at 2010 prices.<\/p>\n

So far this year, more than 5,000 distributors have\u00a0attended an Advantages Roadshow, where they learn new sales tools, discuss client challenges and needs with other pros while discovering innovative items that\u2019ll give them a competitive edge. All in a few short hours.<\/p>\n

Top suppliers choose the show as their platform to introduce new products, making it a big part of their annual exhibition plan.<\/p>\n

To exhibit, suppliers can call their ASI Show<\/em> sales rep at 800-546-3300 or contact Nick directly at ndinicola@asicentral.com<\/a>. Just don\u2019t challenge him to a game of Trivial Pursuit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to know about your roadshow experience, so please post a comment or email me here<\/a>.\u00a0 I\u2019m also on Twitter<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a> and YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n
