AAPEX 2023: October 31 – November 2
I will start off with my personal favorite event in this list, AAPEX 2023. This show is the premier event for the aftermarket automotive industry. The global automotive aftermarket industry accounts for $1.8 trillion in economic activity every year. If you are in the industry, AAPEX 2023 is the must attend show of this year. The term “aftermarket” when associated with the automotive industry is sometimes confused with the tuner or restoration market. This show does encompass those industries, however, it’s geared toward the overall aftermarket industry. So if you sell something related to the automotive industry consider attending or exhibiting at this event! Think of companies like RainX, WeatherTech, AutoZone, and WrapJax. All are “aftermarket” automotive suppliers and represent the types of aftermarket products found at this show. Sign up now before all the space is gone!
