AIMExpo Returns Bigger Than Ever: Registration Open for 2026

IRVINE, Calif., June 10, 2025 — The American International Motorcycle Expo is making its Southern California debut January 7-9, 2026, at the Anaheim Convention Center, and registration for North America’s premier powersports trade show is now officially open. Coinciding with the exhilarating opening round of the 2026 Supercross season, AIMExpo at Anaheim promises to be an unforgettable experience.
 
“California is a major hub for the powersports industry, and the timing with Supercross gives dealers and exhibitors another exciting reason to attend,” said Cinnamon Kernes, Motorcycle Industry Council Vice President of Market Expansion. “This move strengthens our ability to bring the industry together and create meaningful, lasting connections.”
 
AIMExpo is expanding its footprint to more than 293,000 square feet to meet growing demand. More than 175 exhibitors are already confirmed, including major OEMs such as American Honda Motor Co., Inc.; Aprilia; GASGAS; Husqvarna; Kawasaki; Kayo USA; KTM; Moto Guzzi; Moto Morini; Piaggio; Suzuki; Triumph; Vespa; and Yamaha. Leading distributors – including Automatic Distributors, Parts Unlimited/Drag Specialties, and Turn 14 Powersports – are also set to return.
 
The 2026 event brings back the features that attendees look forward to each year. Dealer Excellence will return in partnership with MPN and include expert-led sessions packed with strategies dealers can apply immediately. In the Digital & Tech Sector, Tech Talks will feature candid, small-group conversations with innovators exploring real-world challenges and emerging technologies. New Product Central will also return, giving dealers and media a front-row seat to the latest vehicles, gear, tech, and tools set to shape the future of powersports.
 
Free coffee will again be available at the AIMExpo Starting Line, courtesy of Drag Specialties. The Dealer Recharge Zone, powered by Transax Digital Retail, returns as a place for attendees to relax and revamp during the show.
 
New for 2026, the Dealer Evolution stage will showcase presenters leading high-level conversations designed to challenge assumptions and spark new ideas. Additional interactive features are in development for the 2026 show and will be announced in the months ahead.
 
“The industry left AIMExpo 2025 energized. The momentum built over our years in Vegas is carrying us forward and setting the stage for a show unlike anything we’ve seen before – and this is just the beginning,” said Andre Albert, MIC Director of Marketing and Events. “In the coming months, we’ll be rolling out even more features and new ways for the industry to connect, both on and off the show floor.”
