AAPEX
The 2012 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) is set for Tuesday, October 30 through Thursday, November 1, at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
At the Automotive Aftermarket Parts Expo (AAPEX) you can reach the industry’s key decision-makers all in one place. As the annual showcase for the $405 billion global automotive aftermarket, AAPEX engages more than 132,000 aftermarket professionals from around the globe. At AAPEX you will find all the products and meet all the people needed to take your business to the next level.
Because virtually all key industry executives attend AAPEX, it is the perfect place to break into the aftermarket, meet new partners, and strengthen existing business ties. To facilitate, AAIA sponsors many networking events at AAPEX. Auto International’s exclusive Fabulous Networking Reception is available to AIA members. Warehouse distributors meet with qualified manufacturers at the AWDA conference and one-on-one meetings. The AAIA Town Hall Breakfast is one of the year’s key networking events and the opening Chairman’s Reception offers up a who’s who of the aftermarket industry.
AAIA’s education seminars at AAPEX cover a variety of topics for all audiences, including current aftermarket industry trends, regulatory issues, distribution, sales management/technical trends, and best practices. Presented by industry experts and professionals from diverse backgrounds, they provide exceptional tips and techniques that you can put to work when you return home. AAPEX education seminars can turn your trip into a real learning experience that perfectly complements the international marketplace seen on the show floor.
AAIA also provides members with exclusive use of its Business Center adjacent to the show floor. The Business Center can serve as a satellite office for members to interact with colleagues, learn about programs from AAIA staff, check e-mail or hold a meeting in one of our complimentary conference rooms. Phones, copiers, computers and administrative support are all available at no charge to AAIA members.
