Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) will be a central focus at the 2026 Auto Aftermarket Expo, reflecting the growing complexity of modern vehicle service and repair.
The Auto Aftermarket Expo will take place from 14–16 May 2026 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, bringing together suppliers, trainers and automotive professionals from across Australia and beyond.
As ADAS becomes standard across more vehicles, workshops and technicians need a clear understanding of how these systems operate and how their work can impact performance. Cameras, radar and sensors can be affected by changes in ride height, alignment and component replacement, making correct processes and calibration essential to ensure these systems continue to function as intended after repair.
ADAS capability will be a major feature across both the Expo floor and training program. A dedicated ADAS-focused business information session will turn the new national ADAS Industry Code of Conduct into practical workshop processes, helping technicians determine when calibration is required, apply the Code’s decision-making framework, and implement the documentation and communication practices needed to remain compliant and protect customers.
This will be complemented by the ADAS Training Zone, a free feature area on the trade show floor providing expert-led demonstrations, specialist advice and access to the latest calibration equipment. The zone will help workshops understand best-practice workflows and build confidence in applying ADAS procedures, with sessions led by international ADAS specialists Keith and Liz Perkins from L1 Automotive Group (USA).
Beyond ADAS, the Expo floor will feature over 400 exhibitors showcasing the latest in diagnostics, parts, tools, workshop equipment and services, with interactive displays throughout. 
The Auto Aftermarket Expo will also feature a comprehensive technical training program led by Australian and international experts, focused on building diagnostic capability, improving accuracy and helping technicians keep pace with evolving vehicle technology.
Adding to the technical training will be the Diagnostic Discovery Zone, where technicians can see advanced diagnostic tools and techniques in action, gaining practical insight into faster fault-finding, improved accuracy and more efficient repair workflows.
A dedicated business management program will run alongside the technical sessions, delivering practical insights to help workshop owners and managers improve business performance, efficiency and profitability.
With a strong focus on practical training and real-world application, the 2026 Auto Aftermarket Expo provides workshops with the tools and knowledge needed to keep pace with industry change.
