AIMExpo: New Digital & Tech Hub for Dealer Solutions


In its ever-evolving search for compelling content, AIMExpo (Las Vegas, February 5-7, 2025) has announced a new Digital & Tech Sector Hub - a dedicated space for brands and vendors offering the latest technical and digital solution "to help dealers take their businesses to the next level."

Here, dealers can easily visit a nexus of companies "offering the latest innovations" and can take part in Tech Talks - small-group discussions with tech leaders who can help them approach opportunities and challenges from a new perspective.

Chris Yeloushan, VP of Dealer Development at Rollick. Along with Bob Lettis Sr. VP of Business Development at 700Credit, they approached AIMexpo with the Digital and Tech Hub concept.


"Every day, technology plays a greater role in making businesses more efficient, more profitable, and more sustainable," said Cinnamon Kernes, Vice President, Market Expansion, at the Motorcycle Industry Council. 

"We're inviting all attendees to stop by The Digital & Tech Sector, centrally located on the show floor, and visit with some of the country's leading digital solution providers and take advantage of fireside-chat style Tech Talks."

Kearns said that the concept of a Digital & Tech Sector was created when Bob Lettis, Sr. VP, Business Development & Partnerships at 700Credit, and Chris Yeloushan, VP of Dealer Development and Industry Relations at Rollick, Inc., approached the AIMExpo team after the 2024 show with the idea of curating such a space to make it easier for dealers to connect with this important, fast growing market segment.

"We listened to direct dealer feedback, which led us to seek an easy way to create a digital tech hub that would feature the top digital solutions companies in the industry," said Yeloushan. "By consolidating these innovative partners in a single place and providing Tech Talks, dealers have the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation and problem-solving sessions with one another and with our panel speakers. AIMExpo provides the perfect platform for this experience, given its impact in the industry by recognizing the role technology plays in today's dealerships."

Bob Lettis added "technology is driving the industry, and it's important for dealers to adapt and adopt new innovations so they don't get left behind. Since dealer needs are not all the same, we wanted to make it easier for dealers to quickly see how some of the latest software can help them enhance their sales processes, and having this central hub allows them to quickly evaluate multiple options and offerings.

"We thought AIMExpo would be the perfect place to showcase The Digital & Tech Sector because it is the premier event for the powersports community to connect and learn."
