Highlights of the two-day program include presentations from Daimler, Bendix, IMMI, 3M, and several other collision industry leaders. 

HD Repair Forum’s event coordinators announced last month that the fall event would co-locate with the American Trucking Association’s, Technology & Maintenance Council’s fall meetings, and take place on Wednesday and Thursday, September 15th and 16th.

Similar to year’s past, the event includes presentations, panel discussions, and break out sessions focused on industry challenges, opportunities, and current technical updates and business demands. Topics of interest include, frame and cab repair, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), scanning and diagnostics and business strategies to drive efficiency and profitability.

Members of the medium and heavy-duty collision repair industry interested in making connections with important business partners and staying up-to-date on the latest trends and challenges facing this industry should make plans to attend. This includes repairers, insurers, equipment manufacturers, service providers, and educators.

Information on equipment offerings and services available to this industry are also a key feature of this event. Representatives from industry partners including Navistar, AkzoNobel, Daimler, Axalta, Evercoat, and Enterprise will be in attendance along with other important event sponsors. 

Speakers and content for the program are a derivative of the work, input, and direction of the HD Repair Forum Advisory Board, a group of hard-working, forward-thinking, and collaborative-seeking repair facility owners and managers from across all corners of the country.
