Collision Industry Experts Announce St. Louis, Mo., Meeting

Aug. 29, 2014—Collision industry experts will gather in the St. Louis, Mo., area next month to discuss business trends and opportunities for 2015.

The event, put together by various industry leaders, will be held Sept. 10 at Syberg’s Restaurant & Bar–Dorsett in Maryland Heights, and will feature speakers from Mitchell, Hertz, BASF, 3M, CARSTAR and Finishmaster. Speakers will discuss topics like mobile estimating and rental car technologies, repair planning, and the impact of technology on the industry for the future.

“When you’re an independent body shop owner, it’s hard to take the time to step away from your business to look at longer-range changes and developments in the industry,” said Mark Algie, business development manager at 3M Automotive Aftermarket. “This collision industry program provides a great way to understand how the changing marketplace will impact your business, and plan now for those changes!”

The event will be a breakfast program from 7:30–10 a.m. For more information, or to register, email Mike Davids or call 913.948.5010.
