Automechanika Birmingham announces full event programme
Many of the exhibitors will announce special show deals, offers and competitions in time for the show.

With the largest automotive trade exhibition for the UK’s aftermarket and supply chain less than three months away, the organisers of Automechanika Birmingham last week announced the full event programme at a press conference in London.

Simon Albert, event director of Automechanika Birmingham, revealed the latest list of exhibitors, announcing the plans and the key developments for the show, 6-8 June 2017.

The industry event unites the very best of the UK aftermarket and supply chain and provides a one stop shop for discovering product launches, the latest technologies and practical solutions, with 70 per cent of the exhibitors from the UK and 30 per cent from abroad.

‘Live demonstrations for garages’

Simon Taylor, director of Main Street Garage, visited Automechanika Birmingham in 2016.

He said: As a busy independent garage, investing the time to attend events can be tricky but taking a couple of days out of my workshop to attend Automechanika Birmingham is a must.

“I’ll be attending all three of the days for this year and will bring a different member of staff each day so that they can experience how great the event is.

“I’m particularly excited about the new workshop training zone and seeing some experts show live demonstrations for garages.”

Seminars

A comprehensive programme of over 60 seminar sessions, technical talks and live demonstrations from industry experts adds to this year’s offering.

Three seminar theatres provide topical conversation on current industry issues and discussions about inspiring new technology.

The sessions are designed to bring motor factors, retailers, dealerships and workshops up to speed with the latest industry topics and offer opportunities to share new ideas.

Among others, industry experts from the likes of Frost and Sullivan, SMMT, The IMI, IAAF, NTDA, Autodata, Denso Sales UK, Energenics, Melett Limited, TRW, and ZF Aftermarket UK will deliver sessions on topics such as the digitalisation of retailing and distribution, the future of parts distribution, challenges faced by the automotive aftermarket, the process of diagnosis, and connecting the industry.

Workshop training zone

New for the 2017 event, the ‘workshop training zone’ will be launched to offer technicians, workshop owners and all technically minded visitors practical tips, technical know-how and live demonstrations from leading industry experts.

The new feature for workshop attendees is the perfect opportunity for visitors to see the latest technologies and learn best practice from the experts.

New opening hours

In response to the growth of the show, the organisers have introduced new opening hours to allow both exhibitors and visitors to maximise their presence at the show.

The new times will be 9.30am to 5.30pm Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th and 9.30am to 5.00pm on Thursday 8th June.

The organisers will offer a free coffee and pastry to all visitors who have pre-registered for the event and who arrive before 10am.

The voucher will be distributed at the entrances and can be redeemed at the restaurants in the halls.
