The Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) 2013 Learning Forum will
feature six sessions that focus on current industry trends and issues,
including the popular “Aftermarket Outlook” session, presented by NPD, and
“Five Trends in Five Minutes: Trends Affecting the Aftermarket Environment,” presented
by Polk. AAPEX is set for Tuesday, Nov. 5 through Thursday, Nov. 7, at the
Sands Expo Center, Las Vegas, Nev.
In
addition, the Learning Forum will offer the following sessions on industry
trends and issues:
• Aftermarket Dynamics and the Road Ahead
• California's Chemical Management Rules
• Navigating the Regulatory Minefield for International Trade in
Auto Parts

during AAPEX on Nov. 5 from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and on Wednesday, Nov. 6
from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
This
year’s Learning Forum will feature nearly 40 free sessions, the highest number
ever offered at AAPEX. Sessions will begin on Monday, Nov. 4 – the day before the official start of AAPEX – and continue
through Nov. 7. Attendees are encouraged to make their travel plans
accordingly.
All sessions are
