Registration Deadline Nearing for YANG Reception at AAPEX

The Young Auto Care Network Group will be hosting its largest meetup of the year at the 2025 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, as shared in a press release.

The YANG Reception will be taking place Nov. 4, from 8 to 10 p.m. at the 1923 Prohibition Bar, located in the Grand Canal Shoppes of The Venetian Resort. YANG attendees can enjoy drinks, light appetizers, a photobooth and a live DJ.

The YANG Reception at AAPEX is open to all registered YANG community members, mentors, ambassadors, and sponsors. Attendees must pre-register for the event by Oct. 31, and will be required to show their AAPEX or SEMA badges and YANG registration confirmation for entry.

YANG will also be hosting its #YANGGivesBack campaign during AAPEX 2025, in support of the Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation. This year, YANG is supporting AACF charity events happening at the opening of AAPEX week: Boss of the Toss – Charity Cornhole Tournament on Nov. 1, and The Bob Schoeberl Memorial Charity Golf Tournament on Nov. 3.

In addition to these AACF events, YANG will continue to host its annual t-shirt fundraiser. For a $20 donation to AACF, contributors receive an exclusive edition “Gear Up to Give Back” t-shirt. T-shirts will only be available for pick-up on site at AAPEX and at select YANG regional events throughout the year.

“I love how at AAPEX you can really see the industry—the energy, the people and the passion that make it all come to life,” said Tanya Hunt, chair, YANG. “I’ve always believed we’re not competitors here; we’re one industry. Auto Care does such a great job of bringing that to life through its communities, especially YANG. YANG’s biggest reception happens right here in Vegas, and it’s where our under-40 members—the future leaders of this industry—come together to build the relationships that keep it strong. We invite our members, mentors and supporters to join us!”
