The event features business and technical speakers and looks to provide attendees with networking opportunities, as well as a vehicle giveaway held by the National Auto Body Council as part of their Recycled Rides program, and an “exclusive” tour of the Rivian factory in Illinois.

The theme of the two-day conference is “Connected Car, Connected Industry,” and will feature “leaders from across the collision industry” that will discuss changing technology, how it affects businesses and how to prepare.
