Truck Blue Book Announces New Conference Speaker

Penton Media's The Truck Blue Book, a leading commercial truck valuation guide, today announced it has added a new speaker to its Truck Blue Book Conference lineup on April 29-May 1. Debra Kunz, Director of Strategic Life Planning for Integrity Investment, will lead the session titled “Are You Too Close to Your Business”.

“Debra’s business experience spans eight industries over the last 17 years,” said Terry Williams, editor. “We’re excited to have Ms. Kunz contribute to the rich dialogue and expect that her diverse perspective will spark ideas for practical initiatives that attendees will be able to implement when they return to their own business.”

Targeted to used truck professionals, the two-day event will focus on techniques, best practices and real world solutions to save money, operate efficiently and create more revenue. The conference will offer smaller dealer forums and networking opportunities such as a Kansas City BBQ, vendor fair, American Jazz Museum tour and golf tournament.
