AVENTURA, Fla. — More than 400 attendees, including channel partners and shareholders, are gathered at the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance winter member meeting for a three-day meeting to review 2013 and plan for 2014.

The meeting, held at the Turnberry Isle121688WashbishF_00000071031 Resort in Aventura, Fla., kicked off Monday with general sessions and a reception, continues Tuesday with collaborative channel partner sessions and an annual awards banquet, and concludes Wednesday.

Today, the New Century Dance Company performed while channel partners introduced a race car with Drive to Daytona sweepstakes supporting channel partner logos. The Alliance’s Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper stores are holding a huge promotion, which is awarding 24 qualifying technicians (and their guests) with an all-inclusive trip for two to a full weekend of racing action at Daytona International Speedway for the Budweiser SPEEDWEEK 2014 event, and tickets to all three races. Three of the 24 lucky trip winners will receive a key at Daytona that gives them a chance to win a 2014 Corvette Stingray. There are a host of other prizes for participating technicians, such as 55-inch LED televisions, iPads, digital SLR cameras and Bluetooth sound systems.
