The Tennessee Collision Repairers Association will host its inaugural Music City Collision Conference from September 26–27, at the Southwest Conference Center in Nashville, Tennessee, and seeks several more dynamic speakers to round out the agenda.
The Top Golf Fundraiser kicks off the event on September 25. This event is not just a fun networking opportunity — it’s a chance to support the future of the collision repair industry. The conference will also feature a dynamic trade show floor with leading vendors from across the industry and educational sessions led by some of the most respected voices in collision repair.
“This is more than a trade show,” said Steve Fishe, president of Tennessee Collision Repairers Association and owner of Plan B Autobody. “The Music City Collision Conference is about raising the bar for shop owners, technicians, and managers across the region. It’s time for our state to have a platform that brings the best of the industry directly to our local businesses.”
