Presented by Platinum sponsor Repco and Diamond Sponsor I-CAR, Autocare 2018 will be held at the Sydney International Convention Centre on May 4 and 5 and offers mechanical repairers, collision repairers and their automotive parts supply chain colleagues the opportunity to gain the latest information, advice and education to help guide their businesses towards a highly successful and profitable future.
Members of the automotive trade are welcome to register to attend both days of Autocare 2018 free of charge. More than 100 of Australia’s top automotive aftermarket parts manufacturers and industry service providers will provide Autocare 2018 visitors with their products and services on display, along with providing practical demonstrations of modern repair technology and processes designed to make your businesses more efficient, productive and sustainable.
Autocare 2018 will feature the AutoMate Training Stage that will provide regular and detailed technical presentations throughout this two-day education-led industry event. These presentations will reveal and discuss the latest innovations in mechanical and collision repair technology. Automotive trade visitors to Autocare 2018 will also enjoy a feature car display and experience the latest in refinishing technology courtesy of the Lowbake Australia portable spray booth, which will be located at the spacious outdoor deck of the new Sydney International Convention Centre.
The importance of this Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA) organised event cannot be overstated. “Education has never played a more important role in the future of Australia’s independent repairers and service providers,” stated AAAA Executive Director Stuart Charity. “The disruption caused by rapid developments in repair and servicing diagnostics, procedures and component technologies, now places enormous importance on the need to be accurately and regularly informed to ensure your business sustainability and long-term growth. This is what Autocare 2018 is all about,” Mr Charity added.
For those who are seeking to gain the most knowledge and industry education from Autocare 2018, this national convention includes three targeted information streams relating to the Supply Chain, Mechanical Repair and Collision Repair sectors of the industry. Each of these Autocare 2018 Convention information streams feature some of the most experienced corporate and automotive industry identities from Australia and around the world. Each will deliver detailed presentations designed to assist you in guiding your business towards continued and increased success in the future.
Autocare 2018 Convention participants will hear directly from ACCC Chairman Rod Sims, who will outline the ACCC’s findings and recommendations following their comprehensive 18-month market study into New Car Retailing and the implications of these findings for the Australian automotive aftermarket industry.
United States based Auto Care Association Senior Vice President of Regulatory and Government Affairs, Aaron Lowe and President of the International Automotive Technicians Network Scott Brown, will both make two special presentations at Autocare 2018. One of Australia’s most highly regarded Economists Saul Eastlake and famed demographer Bernard Salt join a vast list of convention stream specific speakers and major industry identities taking part in this not-to-be-missed educational industry event.
While attendance at the information stream specialised Autocare 2018 convention presentations has a cost component, it is also important to note that members of the trade who wish to visit Autocare 2018, meet with the companies on display and learn from the interactive training displays and take part in the event’s networking opportunities, can do so free of charge throughout this first major automotive aftermarket industry event to be held in Sydney in five years.
Autocare 2018 will also feature a Gala Dinner event that members of the trade can also attend, designed as a major networking opportunity for repairers, suppliers and service providers.
Along with Platinum sponsor Repco and Diamond Sponsor I-CAR, Autocare 2018 is also supported by a host of the industry’s most successful companies including Brown and Watson International, Ryco / GUD Automotive, Burson Auto Parts, Hella Australia, ASV Euro Car Parts, Narva, Pedders Suspension, SAPE Group, Lowbake, iBodyshop, CESA Products and Stenhoj Australia together with over 80 Silver and Bronze Autocare 2018 partners.
