The Automotive Parts Remanufacturing Association (APRA) has announces a new name, logo and management for the 2017 International Big R Show (formerly called the Big R/ReMaTecUSA Show) that will be held Oct. 28-30, 2017, at Bally’s Las Vegas.

Next year’s event will be called the 2017 International Big R Show and will be entirely managed and promoted by APRA out of the headquarters office in Gainesville, Virginia. The new logo featured here will be used as the brand to promote the event.

APRA says the rates to exhibit in 2017 have been dramatically lowered to increase the value of participating. Back by popular demand, APRA is re-introducing a new loyalty program to reward members and longtime exhibitors.

In response to feedback from exhibitors, APRA has expanded the show to three days in 2017 to increase floor time with customers and partners. APRA has also doubled the number of meeting rooms in 2017 and will be adding several educational tracks to attract more attendees to enhance networking.

“APRA is thrilled to fully manage the new 2017 International Big R Show as we work to create the premier networking and education event for the remanufacturing industry,” said Scott Parker, APRA association manager. “Over the next several months, APRA will be reaching out to our members and exhibitors to seek input as we build the 2017 event to serve the needs of APRA members and the industry.”
