Why is exhibiting worth the investment?
♦ What they’ll say if you’re not there!
Don’t let them wonder if you’re still in business, feel like just a number, or question whether or not you care about their specific needs. Operators buy more from companies they know and see at LCT events. Don’t leave your customers and prospects vulnerable to your competitors that took the time to give them face-to-face attention. Out of sight, out of mind.
♦ New Potential
We recruit new buyers for you! LCT East delivers new leads. 34% of LCT East show-goers in 2008 were first-time attendees.
“As first time attendees we really didn't know what to expect. We said that as long as we came away from the conference with one new piece of information we would consider it worthwhile. Well we came away with far more than that. Everything was of value.”
-Peter and Susan Hawkins, Signature Limousine, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
♦ Sales.
At LCT East you can reach up to 700 operators in two days. All reasonable costs considered, you’re looking at an average of $8.00 per lead. Not bad for 2-days of work! Or you can spend months on the phone trying to get time with 700 operators. It’s also a perfect opportunity to close sales or unload inventory before year end.
♦ Interdependence.
Operators and suppliers are interdependent. The vitality of the industry depends on the existence and solvency of both. Work together, do not become complacent.
♦ Credibility.
By exhibiting, you prove you have the capital and resources to provide the best product and/or service as well as the longevity for a lasting relationship. You can introduce prospects to your current happy customers. There’s no better proof than that!
♦ Research.
You can’t sell unless you know your customers. Quickly find out what issues they are facing so you can better target their needs.
Why Choose LCT East Over Other East Coast Shows?
♦ Reputation.
Everyone who is anyone goes to LCT events and LCT East is no exception! LCT reaffirmed its standing as undisputed event leader by hosting an incredibly successful show in Las Vegas this year. We’ll do it again with the 2009 LCT Eastern Conference by delivering qualified buyers and endless opportunities to increase your business.
♦ Location.
The Mohegan Sun is a world-renowned 5-star resort defined by luxurious amenities, pristine facilities, fine dining, relaxing ambiance, and awe-inspiring décor. You’ll wish you could stay longer at this amazing destination.
♦ Efficient and Cost-Effective.
LCT East gets you in and out in two days. We respect your time and know you have a budget to watch. You’ll get quality time with quality prospects with minimal time away from the office.
♦ Clout.
LCT East is exclusively endorsed by the National Limousine Association (NLA) which represents over 3,000 operators worldwide. NLA has assembled a group of experienced operators and respected associations to plan an education program that delivers the information companies require. These are not paid consultants, these expert volunteers have their focus on what’s good for the industry.

Attending LCT events provides the insight as to where the industry is heading and your own professional development.”
-Craig McCutcheon, Rosedale Livery Limited, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
♦ Sophistication.
It’s Organized by LCT and the National Limousine Association (NLA)
LCT Magazine is the most prestigious limousine, tour, and charter publication in the world, and the NLA is the true voice of the industry globally. LCT events are refined, educational, and designed for serious-minded business people.
♦ Safe investment for your marketing dollars.
LCT East is not expensive. You don’t need to spend money on flashy exhibits and costly shipping. Just bring the people and information you need to show them what you can do!
