Delivering on the Mobile Electronics Association’s mission to educate, inform and empower the industry, this event will provide you the tools necessary to have the advantage over retailers who continue to follow the same old methods.


The three-day event is complete with top-notch educational workshops (New for Dallas are Hands-on Workshops both Saturday & Sunday on the Exhibit floor), great networking opportunities, manufacturer training sessions, and an exhibit floor packed with your favorite brands. Completing the educational workshops and manufacturer trainings will give you the tools and knowledge to deliver exceptional customer experiences and grow your business.


On behalf of myself, and of the entire Mobile Electronics Association team, we thank you for being part of the only industry event dedicated to the Mobile Electronics Specialist, the installing dealer!
