The Washington Metropolitan Auto Body Association (WMABA) announced that it is now seeking speakers for its Collision P.R.E.P. education event at the NORTHEAST Automotive Services Show March 15-17 in Secaucus, N.J.

The Washington Metropolitan Auto Body Association (WMABA) Collision P.R.E.P. education event, serving the east coast collision repair industry, will once again be at the NORTHEAST Automotive Services Show March 15-17 in Secaucus, N.J. The event is now announcing the open window for speakers to submit their presentations for consideration in the educational lineup.
Last spring, the Collision P.R.E.P. – short for Professional Repairer Education Program – had a full slate of nationally recognized speakers that led to a fantastic turnout by repairers, according to WMABA. Hoping to continue to grow and bring leading edge topics that are relevant to collision repair industry advancements, WMABA is asking for submissions by industry leaders.
Collision P.R.E.P. will follow the format of seminar presentations, as well as organized panel discussions. The focus will be on relevant and timely information that addresses issues collision repairers are currently facing.
The deadline for submitting a presentation is Friday, Dec. 7, 2018. Submissions received after that may not be considered for this event.
To submit a proposal, email the following information to [email protected]. The email should contain the information in either the email body or an editable document:
  • Presentation title
  • List of all presenters involved (include name, title, company and email address)
  • The presentation description
  • List of at least three takeaways for the attendee

Note: there is no speaker compensation for participation as a presenter in Collision P.R.E.P.

WMABA encourages NORTHEAST exhibitors to support WMABA through sponsorship of the Collision P.R.E.P. program. NORTHEAST 2019 show sponsorship and promotional packages are also available through AASP/NJ. As a sponsor, your company will receive highly visible recognition before, during and after NORTHEAST.

The Auto Care Association is applauding recent comments the FTC and DOJ made supporting renewal and expansion of exemptions facilitating consumers’ and businesses’ right to repair their own products.

"Auto Care Association supports the Joint Comment of the DOJ and the FTC encouraging the Librarian of Congress to renew and expand repair-related exemptions that would promote competition in markets for replacement parts, repair and maintenance services, as well as facilitate competition in markets for repairable products," said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. "In particular, on behalf of the entire automotive aftermarket, Auto Care Association agrees with the DOJ and the FTC that the Class 7 exemption to allow vehicle owners and repair facilities greater access to vehicle diagnostic and telematics data for monitoring purposes is critically important to lower the cost of repairs, improve access to repair services, and minimize costly and inconvenient delays."
