It may be a bit too late this year to plan a trip to AAPEX, but keep it in mind for future years as a one-stop shop for seeing product demos and learning what's new.
This year at AAPEX a 10-bay garage is being assembled in the convention center. “Joe’s Garage”, a fully built-out shop on the show floor, will be used to accommodate product and equipment demonstrations. What a great place for you to learn about helping your customer shops grow and potentially finding some new stationary or support supplies for you to sell.
You can also stop at the Professional Distributor magazine booth for a bottle of water or a cup of coffee and chat with the editorial staff.
