OAC to Celebrate 100 Years in New Reception Location at AAPEX

The reception will be held in the San Polo ballroom in the Venetian, located on the third level of the Venetian Expo.

The Overseas Automotive Council (OAC) announced it will celebrate its 100-year anniversary at the OAC Global Reception at AAPEX in Las Vegas on October 31, 2023, which will be held in a new location.

The new location is the San Polo ballroom in the Venetian, located on the third level of the Venetian Expo. “The new reception location will allow attendees to network and meet customers in an easy-to-navigate open-floor ballroom,” according to OAC.

The Global Reception is “one of the only events in North America that brings together aftermarket buyers from a diverse range of countries with over 500 attendees from more than 30 countries attending each year,” OAC says.

“We are excited to celebrate OAC’s centennial celebration with an upgraded location for its Global Reception at this year’s AAPEX,” said Ben Brucato, vice president of membership & engagement at MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers. “For 100 years, the council has brought together international importers, distributors, and agents who participate in the aftermarket, making it the premier international community for North American manufacturers and exporters.”

Domestic and premier international OAC members can register for the reception for free. Learn more about the reception and pricing here. For more information about the OAC, visit mema.org or contact Ben Brucato.
