Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week 2010 (AAIW)

Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week 2010

November 2010

Las Vegas, Nevada

Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week (www.aaiwshow.com) is composed of two shows sponsored by five trade associations. AAIA, MEMA and AIA sponsor AAPEX, the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo at the Sands Expo Center. The SEMA Show represents the fastest growing segment of the specialty automotive aftermarket industry; AAPEX represents the do-it-yourself retail aftermarket and the “professionally installed” aftermarket. The combination of these shows offers wholesale and foreign buyers the most complete and total representation of product in one place, at one time.

There will be a wide-range of products available at the show, encompassing both manufacturers and suppliers of automotive aftermarket parts and services.

Educational and technical seminars on subjects related to the automotive aftermarket will be held all show days. There are more than 60 course offerings held in conjunction with Industry Week. These programs are free. Specific day-long conferences are held pre-show, and fees may apply to some, but not all programs.
