With less than two months to go until the highly anticipated REPXPERT Conference on 14th May, Schaeffler has officially launched a new Vlog series to give technicians a behind-the-scenes look at the experts set to headline the event.
The series aims to highlight the diverse range of voices appearing at the conference, providing a taster of the high-level discussions planned for the afternoon breakout sessions.
The first Vlog features Louise Baker, widely known as ‘The Womanic’. In the video, Louise discusses the current state of the automotive aftermarket and how independent garages can adapt to a rapidly changing landscape.
At the conference itself, Louise will be co-hosting a dedicated session on apprenticeships and training alongside the renowned Colin Denton. Their session is expected to be a major draw for workshop owners looking to solve the industry’s ongoing skills gap.
The 2026 REPXPERT Conference promises to be a packed itinerary designed for forward-thinking workshop owners. The morning kicks off with two keynote speakers and the popular Garage Forum, followed by a hot lunch and networking.
The afternoon offers a choice of four breakout sessions, allowing attendees to tailor the day to their specific business needs. Additionally, a dedicated ‘TechZone’ will showcase the latest innovations from Schaeffler and a variety of partner garage service companies.
While the event has moved to a larger venue for 2026, Schaeffler warns that capacity remains limited.
Given the popularity of previous events, technicians and garage owners are encouraged to register early to avoid missing out.
Tickets are available now via Eventbrite: Register here.
