2026 automotive aftermarket trade shows

Overview

In late August 2026, two major automotive aftermarket events highlighted different industry priorities. At the Oficina Brasil Conecta trade show in São Paulo, Dana used its sponsorship of the Lounge AMMA to promote diversity and female leadership, hosting panels on AI, mental health and inclusion. The same week in Frankfurt, Surventis debuted a new corporate identity and its Refinity digital ecosystem at Automechanika, showcasing integrated data, analytics and automation tools aimed at improving workshop productivity and sustainability. The following day Surventis expanded on the launch, detailing new Refinity software functions that consolidate production data for better decision‑making and unveiling automation concepts that blend digital technology with repair workflows. The updates were initially offered only to Surventis customers, underscoring a phased rollout of the digital platform. Together, the events illustrate a dual focus in the 2026 aftermarket sector: advancing inclusive practices in Brazil while accelerating digital transformation in European body‑shop operations.
