Schaeffler’s REPXPERT Conference returns in 2026

After a successful first event in 2024, Schaeffler’s REPXPERT Conference is set to return on 14th May 2026, with registration now open.

Over 200 technicians and business owners attended the previous event, but Schaeffler says it is confident it can deliver an even bigger and better event, with valuable insights and practical know-how that delegates can take away to implement in their own businesses.

The 2026 Conference will be held at a new venue, the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire, which can hold even more delegates to offer visitors even more networking opportunities.

Marketing communications manager, Jeff Earl, 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, TechZone, and afternoon breakout sessions, then adding even more special guests and engaging content for visitors to get their teeth into.

“I’m really pleased to announce that the first keynote speaker will be Fuzz Townsend, the popular drummer turned mechanic and TV star. I’m sure he has some great stories to share from his incredible career.

“To maximise engagement from attendees, as well as manage the extra capacity and anticipated demand, we have decided to kindly request a booking fee of £10 per person, with all proceeds going to the automotive charity, Ben. This should hopefully ensure that everybody that registers for a ticket will attend on the day to collect their free VIP delegate bag, enjoy breakfast, lunch, and refreshments throughout the day, and get entry into a prize draw with some fantastic prizes.

“Of course, everybody also gets a full day at conference, including the invaluable networking, training and entertainment opportunities on offer!

“And to top it all off, you even get a chance to spend some time in the motor museum after the event ends!”
