Rasey joined Continental in 2015 and is an industry veteran with over 40 years of experience. His presentation entitled “A Higher Purpose” centers on why what earthmoving tire professionals do every day is important.

“Continental takes great pride in attending the TIA Off-the-Road Tire Conference.

The annual OTR Conference brings together hundreds of tire industry professionals to participate in a variety of educational sessions and networking opportunities. This will be Rasey’s third time presenting as the keynote speaker for the event.

This year’s conference will be held February 20-23, 2019 in Tampa, Florida. Leading manufacturers, dealers, retreaders, suppliers and service providers will be in attendance to gain insight on the latest industry updates while networking with consumers, colleagues and key decision-makers.
