MOKENA, Ill. – March 12, 2014 – The
Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) will hold its 2014 Exhibitor
Summit, Wednesday, June 18 and Thursday, June 19, at the Sands Expo Center, Las
Vegas, Nev. The Summit will help exhibitors grow their business at AAPEX and
receive a higher, measurable return on investment
(ROI) from their participation in the event.
This
year’s Summit will share secrets of world-class exhibitors and tips on
overcoming top exhibiting challenges. It will feature training sessions,
including “The Oldest Secrets to ROI that
Nobody Taught You” and “How to
Develop the Head-Turning Hook that Reels Buyer In.” A Venetian “Hidden Secrets” Tour will help
exhibitors uncover some of the hidden gems, unique venues and shortcuts around
the Sands Expo Center and Venetian facility. One-on-One meetings with AAPEX
vendors will be offered to help exhibitors streamline and reduce costs
associated with their booth, shipping, setup/tear down, housing and marketing. Information
about AAPEX sponsorship opportunities and the AAPEX New Product and New
Packaging Showcases also will be available at the Summit.
All Summit sessions are free and both veteran and first-time
exhibitors will benefit from the program.
“We greatly appreciate the opportunity
to have meetings with the various services that we deal with at the show
including the Event Management staff. It saves us a great deal of time and
money to have our questions answered before the event,” said Don
McGee,
manager, Trade Show Logistics, Magnaflow, a 27-year exhibitor at AAPEX.
“We will exhibit at 20 trade shows this
year [2013] and the AAPEX Exhibitor Summit was the most valuable planning time
I have invested in all year,” said Executive Vice President, Alex Parker,
Redline Detection, a first-time participant in the 2013 Summit.
Past
Exhibitor Summit attendees have reported significant increases in results from
AAPEX. A recent AAPEX survey
confirmed that exhibitors who attended last year’s Summit and/or viewed preshow
webinars reported a significantly higher ROI and value perception of AAPEX.
