MPMC Media Trade Conference

The annual Motorsports Parts Manufacturers Council (MPMC) Media Trade Conference (MTC) is January 26–28—three days in which manufacturers will have the opportunity to have private, one-on-one meetings with media to showcase their new, innovative products. In addition to full days of scheduled meetings, the council is hosting evening events for further networking opportunities.

MPMC Open Meeting

January 25, the MPMC invites you to its open meeting to meet with the select committee, hear about the council’s initiatives for 2016 and to network with fellow motorsports parts manufacturers. The event will take place in the La Jolla room in the Embassy Suites Orange County Airport North at 2:00 p.m. You do not have to be attending the Media Trade Conference to attend this meeting. Be sure to stick around for the ETTN Motorsports Tech Roundtable event taking place directly after the meeting.
