From industry-leading exhibitors and industry information to networking – and lots of fun! – there is no shortage of things to do at NORTHEAST!
.
GIVEAWAYS THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND
The Return of NORTHEAST DOLLARS – Show attendees are eligible for a shot at $5,000 in prizes!
AASP/NJ will award a total of $5,000 in NORTHEAST DOLLARS – $500 each to 10 lucky attendees – to be applied toward any purchase made on the floor at the NORTHEAST 2023 Automotive Services Show!
All attendees who pre-register for NORTHEAST will automatically be entered into drawings held throughout the weekend of the show. (Attendees who sign up for NORTHEAST educational sessions will receive TWO entries).
Here’s how it works: NORTHEAST DOLLARS will be awarded to 10 randomly selected winners throughout the three-day event to spend $500 toward any purchase at the show. Each winner will receive a NORTHEAST DOLLAR bill worth $500. Then they can take that to any vendor on the show floor and use it on tools, equipment, anything and everything at the show. After the show, AASP/NJ will reimburse vendors who received NORTHEAST DOLLARS from the buyer.
Your VIP Ticket Could Be Worth $500!
All NORTHEAST VIP tickets include a 5-digit number on the back. If you get a VIP ticket from your vendors leading up to the show, make sure you bring it with you to NORTHEAST. There, you’ll be able to drop your ticket in a special area where AASP/NJ will select winners to receive $500 gift cards throughout the weekend of March 17-19!
