STAMFORD | AvK Strengthens Global Dealer Partnerships at 2026 Enabling Dealer Success Event

Earlier this year, STAMFORD | AvK welcomed Authorised dealers from across its global network to Peterborough, UK, for the 2026 Enabling Dealer Success event. Bringing together 60 delegates representing 37 dealerships from EMEA, India, APAC and the Americas, the two-day conference was designed to strengthen partnerships, share expertise and invest in the future of the global Authorised dealer network.

Built around the theme Enabling Dealer Success, the event provided opportunities for dealers to collaborate, exchange best practice and gain practical insights to help deliver exceptional customer support and drive long-term business growth.

Sharing knowledge and expertise

Delegates took part in a programme of business and technical sessions covering product updates, dealer business growth, sales and marketing strategies, digital tools, technical services and aftermarket support. Dealer-led presentations also encouraged the sharing of experiences and best practices across the global network.
