AAPEXedu 2019 to include 10 sessions

July 30, 2019
The AAPEXedu sessions will address top trends and issues impacting the automotive aftermarket.

The 2019 AAPEXedu program will include 10 sessions for automotive service professionals, auto parts retailers, and warehouse distributors to help them prepare for the future, while also enhancing the service they provide to today’s customers. AAPEX represents the more than $1 trillion global automotive aftermarket industry and will take place Tuesday, November 5, through Thursday, November 7, at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas.

The content for this year’s AAPEXedu is based on the results of an AAPEX survey during which buyers were asked to identify topics of interest to them. For the first time, all sessions will be translated into Chinese and Spanish.

The sessions are part of an AAPEXedu program that also includes Let’s Tech presentations, and Mobility Garage: Products and Training for Tomorrow, featuring underhood training and two sections: Shop Equipment and Technology, Electric Car and Alternative Fuel/Energy.

The AAPEXedu sessions are:

  • 5 Trends in 5 Minutes
  • Recruiting & Retaining the Next Generation of Top Talent
  • Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Forum. Session 1 – Challenges and Opportunities Today; Session 2 – Future Challenges and Opportunities

AAPEX has centralized the location for education this year with AAPEXedu sessions moving to the Bellini Ballroom at The Venetian. Mobility Garage will be located in the adjacent Titian Ballroom of The Venetian and the Let’s Tech stage will be nearby in the Sands Expo, Level 2 Upper Lobby.
