The organizers of AAPEX are offering a powerful suite of solutions to facilitate attendee engagement and exhibitor promotion at this year’s event. AAPEX 2015 is slated for Tuesday, Nov. 3 through Thursday, Nov. 5, at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, with AAPEXedu sessions starting on Monday, Nov. 2.

The technology platform being used at AAPEX 2015 includes an a2z-powered dynamic website and interactive floor plan that sync seamlessly with the event’s ChirpE mobile app and kiosk.

The AAPEX 2015 native mobile app, sponsored by ZF Services, includes a New Product Showcase gallery for attendees to view feature products and add exhibitors to their personalized expo plan. The mobile app also provides useful category-based options for searching for exhibitors and products along with interactive floor plan maps with ‘Locate Me’ functionality. In addition, attendees can use the app to access their conference itinerary, make notes and view speakers’ profiles. More information and iOS and Android download links for the mobile app are available here and on the AAPEX website, www.aapexshow.com.

While at AAPEX, attendees also can use the ChirpE Locator Stations for a quick and easy way to search for exhibitors, products, brands, and sessions by keywords or categories. The user’s location will be identified and a route to their favorite exhibitor or session will be provided.

In the weeks preceding AAPEX, attendees can visit AAPEXshow.com, the event’s award-winning responsive website, to view and search the online product, video, press release, and show special galleries, and build their list of must-see exhibitors. The website also incorporates the complete AAPEXedu session listings alongside up-to-date event information and FAQ for attendees.

AAPEX 2015 is expected to feature more than 2,400 exhibitors, 5,000 booths, nearly 50 AAPEXedu sessions and 39,000 targeted buyers. Approximately 130,000 automotive aftermarket professionals from nearly 140 countries are projected to be in Las Vegas during AAPEX.

AAPEX represents the $477 billion global aftermarket auto parts industry, and is co-owned by the Auto Care Association and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA), the light vehicle aftermarket division of the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA).
