IAAF launches virtual platform for members

The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) has launched a virtual platform enabling members to keep up to date with industry insights, trends and opportunities, while also inviting them to attend Zoom sessions about Covid-19.

The first such Industry Briefing Bitesize will be held on Zoom on Thursday, 25 June at 10:00am.

Steve Carter from Train4Auto Consultancy will explore if the pandemic has hindered or helped sales of electric and hybrid vehicles and members will then be able to take part in an active Q&A to discuss the topic further.

An open forum will then follow, allowing members to comment on key IAAF discussion points, where they will have the opportunity to gather more information on IAAF’s activity and how it is proactively supporting its members and the wider aftermarket.

Mike Smallbone, head of membership development at IAAF, said: “This is another exciting development for IAAF. Our regular Industry Briefings are often over-subscribed and so this new platform will allow members the opportunity to find out more about IAAF’s extensive activity and how it relates to their business going forward.”

Meanwhile, more information will also be available on how IAAF is building a consensus against an overall scrappage scheme, championing the aftermarket in a post-Brexit era and, working with FIGIEFA on the Block Exemption renewal.
