GAAS recently announced that this year's event will feature a special registration rate for companies to bring their leadership team.

Each year the net proceeds of GAAS are invested in the organization’s scholarship fund to help students get their automotive aftermarket career started. Additional scholarship funding comes from industry contributions from individuals, companies and foundations.
When attendees participate in GAAS 2012, they will receive CEU credits toward the University of the Aftermarket’s AAP/MAAP professional certificate program. GAAS has also been approved by NorthwoodUniversity for credit toward its Automotive Aftermarket Management degree.
The annual two-day Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium, now in its 17th year, brings together industry leaders and experts to examine the issues and trends affecting the worldwide automotive aftermarket and influencing its future.
