Notes
Far from just an industry trade show, AIMExpo creates an all new paradigm for motorcycling. A way to come together at one place...at one time...at the right time...in a grand celebration of the lifestyle and business of motorcycling and the greater powersports industry. The first and only combined trade, media and consumer powersports event in the United States, AIMExpo has already changed what an event could and should look like. AIMExpo is modeled after the giant European supershows. And while we recognize that the North American powersports landscape is unique and certainly different than the rest of the world, AIMExpo delivers a much needed new vibrancy, opportunity and platform to our market. Join us as we continue to transform the powersports business for the better!
