Details for the medium and heavy-duty collision repair industry’s conference and networking event taking place next month in Cleveland were released this week. Highlights of the two-day program include presentations from Daimler, Bendix, IMMI, 3M, and several other collision repair industry leaders.

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

Similar to years past, the event includes presentations, panel discussions, and breakout 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 hardworking, forward-thinking, and collaborative-seeking repair facility owners and managers from across all corners of the country.

Educating the industry as a whole and providing extensive networking opportunities helps facilitate collaboration amongst all of the industry stakeholders. The HD Repair Forum was established to help speed up the advancement of the industry and develop solutions to the challenges experienced by everyone across all sectors of the medium and heavy-duty collision industry.
