June 22, 2016—The Auto Body Association of Texas (ABAT) announced Tuesday that the Texas Auto Body Trade Show and Education Days will be held Sept. 16-17 in Richardson, Texas.
This is the first major collision industry show in the state since the 2002 NACE/CARS Expo & Conference was held in Texas.
“We are excited to welcome the Houston Auto Body Association as a strategic business partner in the Texas market,” said Burl Richards, president of ABAT and owner of Burl’s Collision in Henderson, Texas, “HABA is a welcome addition to this great Texas event.”
The event will host a full trade show along with educational breakout sessions. Mike Anderson is the keynote speaker for the event.
“We want our shop owners to know they are, ’not the only one,’” said Richards. “They will learn that they can request certain processes and procedures on certain repairs. This show brings so much education these shops will get no place else.”
