There are some changes to the Show and so here is the latest information and a glimpse at what’s NEW for AAPEX 2021:

Repair Shop HQ

Repair Shop HQ will make its official debut at AAPEX 2021 as Level 1 of the Sands Expo will be transformed into an immersive environment to meet the needs of today’s service professional.

As part of this new space, the expanded Tool & Equipment section and the Mobile Heat Transfer/Heating/Air Conditioning section will relocate to Level 1. This area also will feature a new dedicated Tire section; Joe’s Garage, a built-out shop on the show floor with six bays that simulate a real shop environment; three training theatres; and a Diagnostics/Telematics area.

Several sections will be located in this area, including Technology of Tomorrow, International, the Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA), the Import Vehicle Community, Paint/Body and Equipment and Remanufacturing.

Caesars Forum Conference Center

AAPEX will expand into the Caesars Forum Conference Center, which will house some of the many International Pavilions at this year’s event.
The centre is just a short walk from the Sands Expo and easily accessible by crossing a new short footbridge.

Technical and Business Management Training

AAPEX is enlisting the help of shop owners and technicians to identify the best of the best for technical and business management training in Repair Shop HQ.
Panellists will review and score training submissions, with their final selection to be announced in May.

Health and safety

To help ensure a safe and productive event as possible, AAPEX Event Management and AAPEX co-owners – the Auto Care Association and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA) – will take all appropriate and advisable precautions and measures as advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines for COVID-19.
