AAPEX Exhibitor Committee

The MEMA AAPEX Exhibitor Committee 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 MEMA AAPEX Exhibitor Committee has worked with the executive committee to define the following objectives for the committee:  

• Educate: Hear from AAPEX vendors (mdg, Glasgow, Freeman) and industry experts, 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.
