Matt Dixon, a prominent former pro-triathlete, elite coach and author of The Well-Built Triathlete, will be the Queens Chamber of Commerce Keynote Speaker. He’ll be flying in from San Francisco, CA. At 5 p.m., New York City Firefighter, Matt Long, who was in a horrific accident in 2005 when a bus ran over him, will be honored. Matt also wrote a book, The Long Run, and four years after his accident, he went on and completed Ironman Lake Placid. He will be honored for his courage, dedication and devotion to the sport of Triathlon.
During the event, Endurance Films, the makers of athletic films, will be filming throughout the day and Donna Drake of Live it Up! with Donna Drake will be interviewing sponsors and key people.
If you’re not an athlete, don’t worry, you should still attend. Why?
Triathletes are generally a group of people with a higher level of disposable income than any other group. They are CEO’s, business owners and C-Level executives. They also love technology and spend a significant amount on the sport.
“Many people don’t look at the big picture,” said Hilary Topper, Show Producer of the NY TRI EXPO ’16 and managing member of HJMT Media Company, which runs four blogs, a radio show and a YouTube channel. “I find that the best time to market to people is when they aren’t thinking about business. This way, I connect with them on a personal level and we eventually do business.”
When asked why she decided to hold the event in Queens, Topper said, “Queens is not only centrally located between Manhattan and Long Island, but it also has incredible spirit. People who live and work in Queens have amazing pride and I just love the energy!”
In addition to workshops, seminars and the expo, there will be competitions, amazing raffle prizes, swag bags worth more than $100 and free parking!
