ORLAND PARK, IL – Online registration for the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) is now open at www.AAPEXShow.com. AAPEX will be held Tuesday, Nov. 4, through Thursday, Nov. 6, at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas.

Buyers who previously attended AAPEX or the SEMA Show have been sent alumni numbers via e-mail to use when registering to speed the process. Alumni status means buyers are pre-approved to register without any further qualifications and are eligible to receive their badges and badge holders in the mail prior to the start of AAPEX. Buyers must follow special instructions that will be included in their confirmation letters in order to receive their badges in the mail.

“Buyers who use their alumni numbers will have everything they need to start doing business at AAPEX as soon as the doors open, without waiting in line at registration or badge holder pickup,” said Bill Glasgow Sr., AAPEX show manager.

As an added convenience, buyers can reserve hotel rooms online by clicking through to the hotel reservations site after completing the registration process. By doing so, contact information will be pre-populated so that buyers don’t have to enter it twice.

ORLAND PARK, IL — Online event and housing registration is now open for the 2006 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX), which takes place Tuesday, Oct. 31 – Thursday, Nov. 2, in Las Vegas. Online registration is $15 per person if completed before Oct. 13, for a 70 percent savings off the $50 on-site registration fee.

AAPEX show organizers have negotiated discounted room rates at 30 hotels in Las Vegas that can be reserved online. With the AAPEX badge, attendees can also enter the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show being held that same week in Las Vegas.

“Buyers who attended AAPEX in 2005 can use their Alumni number to expedite the online registration process. Buyers who are new to AAPEX will be pleased with the ease and simplicity of online registration, as well as the convenience of clicking through to online housing, without re-entering contact information,” said Bill Glasgow, Sr., AAPEX show manager.

Online registration for AAPEX is available in English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese. Two forms of approved professional identification may be required for new buyers to complete the registration to ensure that only qualified members of the automotive aftermarket attend these trade events.
