AAPEX Exhibitor Committee

The AAPEX Exhibitor Committee (AAEC) is a forum for representatives from all Aftermarket member companies to exchange ideas on ways to improve AAPEX ROI for exhibitors. Members focus on ways to ensure the long-term health of the event.

The AAEC has worked with exhibitors to define the following objectives for the committee: 

• Educate: Hear from AAPEX vendors (mdg, Glasgow, Freeman), industry & consumer media, The Expo Group, and CEIR, among others.
• Inform: What’s happening behind the scenes in planning for AAPEX.
• Increase Exhibitor ROI: Get the most out of your AAPEX experience; receive data and statistics to help support goals.
• Assist: Exhibitor deadlines and reminders; help pre-show, on-site and post-show.
• Listen: A forum for exhibitors to provide input, voice concerns, make suggestions to improve the show.
