The Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) gathered at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 15-17, 2025, for its annual Summit/CONDEX. The event was an opportunity for members to network, attend seminars, fundraise and see what's new in the industry. CONDEX allowed equipment manufacturers the chance to show attendees the latest in equipment and technology and services.
Among the speakers at this year's event was Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis spoke at the General Session. Other speakers included William P. Barr, former U.S. Attorney General; James Carville, political consultant; Sean Alexander, Microsoft; and Lauren Saidel-Baker, economist.
The theme for this year's Gala and Live Auction was "Havana Nights." This event helped raise more than $165 million to support The AED Foundation as it offers long-term career pathways and continuing education for employees.
AED was founded in 1919 by Morton R. Hunter and serves the construction, mining, forestry power generation, agricultural and rental industries.
