Drive has chosen Babcox Media as the official media sponsor for the upcoming Drive Expo, set to take place from Sept. 14-17 at the Westgate Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Drive Expo is a four-day industry event that offers hands-on management training sessions, presentations by industry leaders, software demonstrations, exhibitions and various networking opportunities tailored to today’s shop owners. The 2023 event will include over 20 workshops.

Babcox Media will actively promote the event and take the lead in creating an exclusive series of newsletters that will be distributed daily in September.

“We are pleased to be the ‘Official Media Partner’ for the Drive Expo,” Andrew Markel, director of technical content for Babcox Media, said. “The Drive Expo is a unique event that empowers and educates shop owners with a unique blend of training and coaching over four days.”
