IDEA has been producing educational seminars for the IDA Expo since 1998, and has sought to provide topics that address the greatest challenges facing the industry each year. The group anticipates that the current most pressing need for dealers is to operate at maximum effi ciency, with a professionally trained sales force, producing greater profi tability.
"With IDA putting such a high
profi le focus on education at the 2013 IDA Expo, we want this to be

They will also have a great time, network with dealers from all over the globe, and fi nd new products and services that will expand their opportunities."
