Tyre Industry Conference 2020
in association with the National Tyre Distributors Association
Welcome to the inaugural Virtual Tyre Industry Conference. Sadly we couldn’t meet together in person this year, so Tyrepress got in touch with the NTDA and offered to bring the conference to you. While the coincidence is unintentional, the timing of this conference coincides with the second UK national coronavirus lockdown.
Following on from the success of our “kick-starting your tyre business” webinar at the end of May, the sessions are designed to help all aspects of the tyre business make the best of the challenging circumstances – something that is all the more relevant in light of lockdown 2.0.
A conference isn’t a conference without the people, so please engage with the issues via the Tyrepress social media platforms, using the hashtag #TIC2020. Or by emailing theeditor@tyrepress.com.
We’ve done our best to make the event as accessible as possible. Scroll down to browse the four sessions below.
