The IAAF has announced its annual conference and awards has attracted support from leading aftermarket brands.
The conference & awards dinner will take place on 8th December at Double Tree Hilton in Milton Keynes and will be sponsored by Alliance Automotive Group (AAG).
The conference will tackle the theme of “Overcoming adversity, the path to a prosperous aftermarket future”, exploring challenges such as Brexit, Covid-19, supply chain and logistics issues, and skills shortages – as well as opportunities available to businesses and individuals in the automotive aftermarket.
The evening will see the IAAF’s annual dinner return, The AFTERmarket Party of the Year, which will feature comedian Omid Djalili, and an award ceremony bigger than ever before.
In addition to headline sponsor Alliance Automotive Group (AAG), principal sponsors for this years’ dinner include Glen Callum Associates (GCA), Tetrosyl, WAI, Impression, febi Bilstein, Marathon Warehouse Distribution, Messe Frankfurt UK, TechMan, NK Brakes & Exhausts, ZF and Lucas Oil.
The dinner has also garnered support from partner sponsors including: Exol Lubricants, NGK, MAHLE, TMD Friction, Parts Alliance, First Line, IMTFA and Moove Lubricants.
