HPX Calls for Educational Presenters

The High Performance Expo (HPX) opens the call for presentations as educational programming will be a key component of the show. Personal and professional development fosters a commitment to continuous improvement and helps open up a variety of opportunities for growth, show officials note.

“A modern perspective on educational programming is really important when delivering a progressive event format with vibrant displays, networking opportunities, meaningful interactions, actionable sales data and interactive experiences for automotive pros everywhere,” said Dana Teague, HPX general manager. “To accomplish this, HPX is looking for dynamic insightful presenters with experience in relevant, timely and comprehensive topics that will help lift and move the industry forward.”

The three educational tracks led by industry leaders and experts are: 

  • Business Development: HPX Business Development sessions offer in-depth discussions on scaling operations, building brand loyalty, and navigating emerging industry challenges. Whether you’re an established business or a growing shop, you’ll gain actionable strategies to improve profitability, customer engagement, and market positioning.
  • Technical Development: Ideal for builders, tuners, engineers, and content creators, HPX Technical Development sessions help expand your technical knowledge base and equips you with the latest tools and best practices to enhance efficiency, boost performance, and solve real-world challenges.
  • Personal Development: Whether you’re managing a team, building relationships with clients, or expanding your influence in the industry, HPX Personal Development sessions provide the insights and strategies to enhance your personal effectiveness and professional impact.

Interested presenters can complete the informational form and upload supporting materials such as proposed presentations, concepts, ideas and videos here. Videos can be an introduction or presentation proposal and will be used as part of the selection process. The deadline for presenter submission is Oct. 21, 2024.

Speakers are encouraged to be innovative, dynamic, incorporate displays, hands-on activities, real-life examples and actionable takeaways for participants. Presenters will receive a complimentary speaker registration to HPX 2025.

In addition, the newly formed HPX Advisory Council, which is chalk full of auto racing and automotive aftermarket industry leaders and experts, will provide industry insights and input to help shape the educational component.

“The HPX Advisory Council’s value comes from their ability to use their expertise to help shape the experience for everyone,” added Teague. “Their recommendations and input will help us bring tremendous excitement to our activities and is another proof point differentiating HPX from other shows. We are working hard to create value for attendees and build a must-attend event.”
