AAIA's show committee reviews the content and presentation of AAIA events at AAPEX. The committee evaluates the Chairman's Reception, The Town Hall Meeting and the AAIA booth.

AAIA's show committee advises show management on long range strategies for future AAPEX shows. The committee offers comments on areas for potential growth for the show and helps direct the promotional campaign for AAPEX. In addition the show committee helps show management meet the growing needs for both AAPEX buyers and exhibitors.
