Following the success of its inaugural event in 2024, Schaeffler has announced the return of its REPXPERT Conference.
The event is set to become a regular fixture in the aftermarket calendar and will be held on 14 May 2026 at the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire. The new venue will allow for more delegates, who will also have the opportunity to explore the museum’s collection of British vehicles.
Over 200 technicians and business owners attended the first conference. Schaeffler is confident that the next event will be even bigger and better, providing attendees with valuable insights and practical knowledge to take back to their businesses.
Jeff Earl, Marketing Communications Manager, said: “Our plan for next year is ‘if it’s not broken – don’t fix it!’. So we are taking the best bits from last year, such as the Garage Forum and the TechZone, then adding even more special guests and some other cool new attractions for visitors to get their teeth into.”
The first keynote speaker announced is Fuzz Townsend, the musician and TV presenter. Earl added: “I’m really pleased to announce that the first keynote speaker will be Fuzz Townsend, the popular drummer turned mechanic turned TV star. I’m sure he has some great stories to share from his incredible career.”
Further details, including additional celebrity guest announcements and information on how to register for tickets, will be revealed in the coming months.
