Over 650 participants attended the AIA Canada Night at the SEMA/AAPEX show in Las Vegas on November 1st.

The event marked the return of an important tradition for Canadian automotive aftermarket stakeholders. Organized by AIA Canada, Canada Night is an opportunity for representatives of manufacturers, distributors, specialty service providers and major automotive aftermarket networks to socialize at the largest automotive aftermarket event in North America.

“All of the representatives of the automotive aftermarket ecosystem are here,” explained AIA Canada President JF Champagne to Autosphere.ca as he welcomed the hundreds of guests to the evening. “We wanted to create a more exclusive event where our sponsors invited a selection of customers. AIA’s Canada Night is all about celebrating our presence on the continent by highlighting our immense strength.”

The evening, which took place in the ballroom of a major Las Vegas hotel, allowed key players in the automotive maintenance, auto glass, collision repair and tire sectors to meet and mingle.

Over the next few days, the Autosphere.ca platform will present the results of its numerous meetings with suppliers of equipment, tools, replacement parts and specialized services who provide innovative solutions to Canadian automotive maintenance and repair workshops.
