“For the first time, we have the capability to help and engage with more auto recyclers than ever through the top-notch virtual convention platform, and bring it right to their office and to their teams,” says Scott Robertson, Jr., ARA’s President, and owner of Robertson Auto Salvage, in Wareham, MA. “If ever there was a year to assist all of the industry, this is it. We hope recyclers of all kinds from all around the globe take advantage of the possibilities within EDGE 2020.”

Where’s the Innovation?
How many times do you get to directly connect your specific team members (who use the products and services every day) with multiple suppliers at one time to gain information and data to improve their skills or help make critical production decisions?
The virtual Exposition might be the most important aspect of the even. Attendees go into the “Expo Hall,” and can immediately see every company that is exhibiting at a glance. Then, they can:
- Choose the booth of the vendors they want to connect with (just like a live trade show);
- Set up a one-to-one appointment with the company to occur during a time-frame convenient to both;
- Live video chat with a booth representative;
- Learn about the company through their in-booth video or other in-booth options;
- Watch an informational webinar in the booth, and then ask questions of the booth staff right away;
- Email the company questions and requests for follow-up later;
- Download information and videos into an attendee “eBag” for later review.
