The Highlights

Wednesday Welcome Reception 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
The official convention kick off is the Wednesday Meet & Greet on the Marina Terrace overlooking San Diego Bay! This is a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new contacts. Enjoy food, drinks, and camaraderie by the beautiful boats on the bay at this stunning resort.

Thursday
We’ll start our general session with the Canadian and United States National Anthems before Honoring our Veterans. See the section below for more information and the form to be included in this presentation.

We’ll continue our day sharing the UTA’s Year in Review, followed by  our Keynote Speaker, Rick Rigsby, and then announce our industry awards before lunch. (Dealer Group Members of the Year and the UTA Marvin F. Gordon Lifetime Achievement Award.) Let’s celebrate these prestigious awards throughout our time in San Diego!

Our afternoon session features our Roundtables before we had down to the Vendor Expo.

Thursday Vendor Expo 3:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Booths are available to Silver level sponsors and higher. Our sponsors are important partners for the convention and the Vendor Expo provides maximum exposure to directly promote their products and services to the used truck industry.

Friday Afternoon Tour Activities
We have several options to choose from that are fun, memorable, and included in your convention registration! These tours fill up quickly so sign up ASAP! See tour options under the Activities tab. Of course you aren’t obligated to sign up for an organized tour. There is a hefty list of area attractions at the bottom of the Activities page!

Friday Evening Farewell Reception 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
The 26th Annual Convention will come to a close with a Farewell Reception. There will be appetizers and cocktails and will end early enough for those who wish to take customers out for dinner or plan another evening event!

Honoring Our Veterans

Once again we will recognize our members who have served. There will be posters and slide presentations to celebrate our military individuals. In order to give all of them the honor they deserve, we will show slides at different times throughout the convention.
