Introducing the Industry's First
Virtual Tow Summit
Who knew in January of this year that the world would change so dramatically, with technology now moving forward at warp speed. Embracing technology and the need for social distancing, the Towing & Recovery Management Summit team has transformed the Tow Summit into the Virtual Tow Summit.
What is a virtual event and how do you participate?
A virtual event is held online through virtual platforms. You participate by registering and a link is emailed to the email address you supply. You’ll receive reminder emails leading up to the actual event. Once it’s time, you click the link and it takes you to the sessions.
The beauty of virtual sessions is that you attend from any location where you can be safely online. You just need a strong internet connection and a device – desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
To ease everyone into the world of virtual events, we are offering a three-day event with a FREE first session. The panel of towing industry company owners/leaders will address what they have learned from our recent pandemic’s impact on business.
We hope you enjoy this year’s Virtual Tow Summit. We look forward to hearing your feedback!

What people have to say about us
Sessions
This year’s virtual Tow Summit features a FREE intro panel, four seminar sessions and multiple sponsor demo sessions to explore. Attendees must register for the free intro panel and paid sessions separately.
FREE LIVE PANEL: How has the pandemic changed your business management?
Most small businesses were impacted by the recent pandemic. What did this dramatic and sudden drop in business teach towing company owners? Hear thoughts from some of the industry’s most well-known and respected owners.
Moderated by: Bill Giorgis
Panelists:
– Kim Lowell, Executive Director, Statewide Towing Association, MA
– Brad McIntosh, Sandy’s Towing, Dayton, OH
– Mike Porter, Speed’s Towing, Portland, OR
– Geoff Russell, Kauff’s Towing/Transport, West Palm Beach, FL
2-Day Virtual Summit Sessions
SESSION 1: Getting BACk to basics
What will it take to be profitable going forward? Towing company owners are asking themselves that question. Has the pandemic provided an opportunity to evaluate all aspects of your business?
session 3: Cyber Security and Towing
A cyberattack can spell disaster for a towing company. The average preventable attack costs a business in excess of $35,000 and months of recovery time — but there are ways to protect against these online menaces.
session 2: a cashless society?
What forms of payment will reign in just a few short years? Many economists believe it will not be cash. Is your towing company prepared for payment methods quickly gaining ground?
session 4: Disaster Planning – It’s Not Just Mother Nature
Disaster planning is now a must for towing company management. What you should have in place to best handle any type of disaster, including financial decisions, staffing, document storage and accessibility and more.
What makes people great?
One of our country’s most acclaimed leaders, Benjamin Franklin, invested roughly an hour a day in deliberate learning. For Franklin, his learning time consisted of waking up early to read and write. He established personal goals and tracked his results. In the spirit of today’s book clubs, he created a club for “like-minded aspiring artisans and tradesmen who hoped to improve themselves while they improved their community.”
Hats off to Tow Summit attendees for their spirit of learning and goal of bettering themselves as businessmen and women. Ben Franklin would be proud.
