NATRE announces education conference programme

The North American Tire & Retread Expo is being held in New Orleans from 19 to 21 April. An education conference is being held alongside the exhibition in the mornings and the organisers have just revealed the programme schedule.

With speakers from across the industry, the conference will cover a variety of topics in 45-minute slots. Some idea of the scope and breadth of the subjects can be seen from the programme for the first morning, when topics such as retreading, effective internet marketing, China’s tire industry and current issues in tyre safety & information regulations will be covered.

The programme for the remaining two mornings is equally varied and the organisers have striven to ensure that there will be something of interest for everybody, regardless of which sector of the tyre industry they may come from.

As well as the education conference and the exhibition, the event includes the ‘Miss Retread Truck Tire Contest’ and the ‘Mr OTR Radial Retread Tire Contest’, to find the “most beautiful” retreaded truck tyre and OTR retreaded tyre.
