PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MIA HOSTS MAJOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT EVENT AT
WILLIAMS F1 CENTRE ON 7 APRIL WITH DALLARA,
OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED BY STINGRAY RV
Motorsport business gets a great start to the new season with new networks working
together to help deliver on time.
Business leaders assemble at Williams F1 on 7 April to share business contacts and hear
from the founder of the world's largest race car company, Gianpaolo Dallara, winner of
TEN Indy 500s and countless hundreds of F3 races and championships.
Business is booming for many; this high demand for products, for the start of the season,
has started later than ever - with many new partnerships working together to meet tight
deadlines. New alliances are being made all the time through small business-focussed
network events organised by the MIA.
"We have never had such a demand from companies wanting to make new contacts FAST
- all trying to cope with unprecedented late demand arriving every day!" said Chris Aylett,
CEO of the MIA.
"This is where our B2B network events deliver real value. Everyone in the room
understands motorsport and is looking for new business."
The next MIA business network, on 7 April at the superb Williams F1 Conference Centre,
expects to attract over 100 attendees for the reception and a tour of the Williams F1 Grand
Prix Collection, the largest private collection of Formula One cars in the world.
"Any guest can ask to be seated next to a particular target company; we always do our
best to help," confirmed Chris Aylett.
During the dinner, Gianpaolo Dallara, founder of the largest race car company in the world,
will take questions from the audience. His 50-year career links him to Ferrari, Maserati,
Lamborghini, Lancia and many more. His unique insight into motor racing and design,

founded on his study of aeronautical engineering, coupled with his tireless energy and
belief in his people, has delivered over five decades of success.

Dallara Interview, and the evening closes at 22:30.
