Registration is open for the 2018 Paint, Body and Equipment Specialists (PBES) Conference.

Scheduled for May 16-18, the conference will take place in downtown Austin, Texas, at the new Fairmont Austin luxury hotel, which is connected to the Austin Convention Center.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Leverage Disruption,” centering on “revolutionary concepts to help businesses thrive in the dynamic paint, body and equipment supply chain,” according to the Auto Care Association’s PBES community.

There will be a variety of speakers and breakout sessions to provide opportunities for networking and education. In addition to lively speakers and panelists, there will be plenty of time to discuss ideas with industry-leading distributors, manufacturers, WDs and manufacturer’s reps.

“This event is a terrific opportunity to network and share ideas with the best in the industry while enjoying the rich culture of Austin, Texas,” said Joe Mattos, PBES Committee chairman. “I look forward to discussing the dynamic changes affecting our industry and how we can set our teams up for success.”
