Tucker Show Moves to New Location for 2019
The Tucker/Tucker V-Twin distributor
show is moving to the downtown Fort
Worth, Texas, Convention Center for
2019 and being staged January 24-25.
The company has said that “following
the rollout of our new brand identity in
June, we are excited to introduce the
NEW Tucker Show. New for 2019, the
show moves to the downtown Fort
Worth Convention Center and is
scheduled for January 24th–25th.
Show registration opened to dealers in
mid-September and attendance
continues to grow among vendors and
dealers.”
The Tucker Show consists of two days
of interaction with Tucker brand
partners where dealers learn about
new products, take advantage of super
specials, network, and enjoy a good
time at the show-ending dealer
appreciation party.
“The Tucker Show is an opportunity for
dealers to take advantage of show
specials, stock up and prepare for the
upcoming riding season. A range of
dealer seminars are designed to help
improve operational efficiencies, visual
merchandising, marketing, and share
“best practices” to improve consumer
brand experiences and expand
consumer reach.
“The show is also a chance to build
stronger relationships with the Tucker
Team, its brand partners, and network
with other dealers that share your
business experience - the new Tucker
Show is sure to be a Texas-style good
time!”
