AAPEX named one of the 50 fastest-growing trade shows in 2022

AAPEX reported a 93 percent return to pre-pandemic attendance, with targeted buyers representing more than 120 countries.

AAPEX has been recognized by Trade Show Executive (TSE) as one of the 50 fastest-growing trade shows of 2022.

Trade Show Executive is a trade show industry news and event management resources magazine and news outlet.

In 2022, AAPEX brought together more than $1.8 trillion of the global automotive aftermarket industry in Las Vegas to showcase the latest product innovations and technologies, service professional training and networking.

AAPEX earned its place in the TSE’s Fastest 50 Class of 2022 in two categories: Net Square Feet of Exhibit Space and Number of Exhibitors.

In 2022, AAPEX hosted more than double the number of manufacturers and supplier companies exhibiting from the previous year, with representation from 44 countries. Additionally, AAPEX reported a 93 percent return to pre-pandemic attendance, with targeted buyers representing more than 120 countries.

TSE identifies the 50 fastest-growing trade shows in three metric categories: net square feet of exhibit space, the number of exhibitors and total attendance. According to TSE, the class of 2022 hit unprecedented growth rates for all metrics, signaling the strong return of trade shows last year.

AAPEX will be honored at this year’s Trade Show Executive’s Fastest 50 Awards & Summit, which will take place May 1-3 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Fla.

AAPEX 2023 will be held from Tuesday, Oct. 31 through Thursday, Nov. 2, at The Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. Attendee registration will open in early May.
