IRVINE, Calif., March , 2023 – Nearly 4,500 attendees from 39 countries gathered in the Las Vegas
Convention Center last week for AIMExpo 2023, the epicenter of the powersports industry. Over the
three-day conference and tradeshow, attendees perused 146,000 square feet of exhibits from more
than 300 companies and participated in more than 45 hours of educational sessions.
“The energy throughout AIMExpo 2023 was palpable,” said Derek Brooks, motorcycle product line
manager, Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. “Our industry is building on the momentum we gained
through the last couple of years and we are on the cusp of a new era fueled by new riders, innovation,
and passion. When thousands of dedicated and engaged professionals convene at a show like
AIMExpo, great things happen.”
AIMExpo 2023’s show floor was 93% larger than 2022 and filled with more than double the number of
exhibitors. And for the first time, the educational offerings spanned three different stages. The Disruptive
Thinking stage hosted 10 comprehensive sessions covering strategic, imperative topics for the
powersports industry. The New Product Central stage, hosted by award-winning bike builder Kevin
Dunworth, saw 28 new product presentations highlighting some of the best innovations from across the
industry. Finally, the Dealer Excellence programing hosted 8 sessions that gave dealers the opportunity
to dive into topics and take home actionable ideas that they could implement at their dealerships
immediately.
“Fueled by the new products unveiled at the show, and the expanded educational sessions and
presentations, the energy on the floor was incredible,” said Cinnamon Kernes, vice president of
market expansion for the Motorcycle Industry Council. “I want to thank our exhibitors, speakers,
and most of all our attendees for helping to make this show a success.”
Kernes continued, “Mark your calendars for February 7-9 for AIMExpo 2024. Room blocks are being
contracted for AIMExpo exhibitors and attendees with rates similar to what people paid this year and we
are already planning on delivering an even bigger experience. More details will be announced in the
coming months.”
