In this episode, Auto Care Association's Mark Bogdansky discusses the new changes coming to AAPEX 2025 that will transform how auto parts suppliers, manufacturers, and warehouse distributors experience this year's show.

You'll hear how the new product category floor segmentation makes it easier for distributors to find suppliers in specific categories, while helping exhibitors connect with interested buyers.

Mark talks about strategies to keep buyers on the show floor longer—from food trucks that eliminate lengthy lunch breaks to the new "Booth Crawl" showcasing exhibitor receptions and giveaways. 

You'll also learn what Wayne Gretzky's keynote on business excellence means for industry leaders looking to reach their own "hall of fame."
