iATN TO HOST RECEPTION DURING AAPEX SHOW

Brea, CA - The International Automotive Technicians Network (iATN) will host a social reception on Thursday, Nov. 1 for iATN members attending the AAPEX show in Las Vegas, Nev. The reception will start at 5 p.m. (after the show closes for that day) and run until 8 p.m. It will be held in Rooms #106 and #107 at the Sands Exposition and Convention Center.

This gathering among iATN members is co-sponsored by ASE (www.asecert.org) and NAPA (www.napaonline.com). Advance registration is not required; however, iATN members will need their AAPEX badges to access the event. Light appetizers will be provided, and additional event details are on the iATN web site at: http://members.iatn.net/meetings/vegas01/.

"iATN members typically meet in cyberspace and this reception gives them a chance to actually meet in person, many for the first-time. It's also another great opportunity for members to network and share their knowledge of the automotive repair industry," said Brent Black, iATN founder.
