HD Repair Forum Advisory Board Plans Fall Conference

July 11, 2022, Katy, Texas – Advisory board members representing heavy- and medium-duty collision repair shops from across North America met with HD Repair Forum’s event organizers. They discussed the current state of the industry and identified topics and speakers for a Fall conference. Topics such as repairing electric vehicles, technicians and staffing shortages, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) will be some of the many highlights of the only event solely dedicated to the collision repair industry.

The event will take place on Monday, September 26th and Tuesday, September 27th and co-located with the American Trucking Associations© (ATA) Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) 2022 Fall Meeting. HD Repair Forum attendees will be able to take full advantage of this unique opportunity and attend the council meetings focused on collision repair.

This is the second time the HD Repair Forum will hold their conference in conjunction with TMC. The first time was in the fall of 2021, and the results and feedback from industry stakeholders was overwhelmingly positive. Ray Chatfield, owner of Truck Collision Services in Michigan stated, “It gave supporters of both events an opportunity to network with other industry leaders and learn more about the challenges and opportunities to drive positive change.”

Registration to the HD Repair Forum is separate from TMC’s 2022 Fall Meeting and will open later this month. To receive event information and industry news, sign up for the HD Repair Forum’s e-communication here.
