More Information :

Seminars and Workshops:
This page will continue to develop in the upcoming months.  We promise to provide the most comprehensive subjects of interest and concern pertinent to the recycling industry.  Follow this page in upcoming months to find the subjects that most interest you. If you have a subject that you would like to have addressed, give us a call and we will see what we can do.

Hotels/Travel:
This page will list the Host Hotel as well as other hotels that have been recommended by the IT Staff. We have done our best to find hotels that are convenient to Chuck and Eddie’s facility.  In addition we will provide information about the local airports. Those interested in bringing motor homes and wish to stay at Chuck and Eddie’s are asked to reserve space by calling us at 434-791-3323.  If you are bringing children, be sure the check out the water park at the host hotel.

Sponsorship:
As you are probably aware, this event is heavily funded by the generosity of our exhibitors. Without their financial contributions this event could not be the largest event of its kind in the auto recycling industry. The sponsorships offer your company continuous exposure throughout the show as well as exposure on the “IT” website for an entire year. Please join those who have contributed in the past and sponsor one of the events listed on this page. Contact me directly if you would like to help and I will personally see to it that you receive the exposure we promise.

Auction:
If you have never attended an “IT” Auction you have probably never experienced an auction quite like this one. The “IT” Auction is an experience in itself. Never before have I witnessed such generosity by this fantastic industry of which we are all a part of.  Click on this menu bar and see for yourself.  One Hundred percent of all auction funds go directly to the participating state associations and the charities involved. The charities vary each year but are always organizations helping children.
