Organised by the Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF), the event brings together key stakeholders from across the UK automotive aftermarket for a day of insight, discussion and recognition.

Representing the entire aftermarket supply chain, including manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, buying groups, motor factors and independent garages, the IAAF plays a central role in protecting members’ interests and giving the sector a unified voice.

The annual conference provides an opportunity to hear directly from industry leaders on the issues shaping the aftermarket and influencing day-to-day business operations.

For independent garages, the event offers valuable perspective on the wider industry landscape, alongside the chance to connect with suppliers, trade bodies and fellow professionals.
