Registration Now Open for Automotive Body Parts Association Annual Meeting

The 2017 ABPA Annual Meeting & Convention will take place April 25-28 in Atlanta and will feature keynote speakers, educational breakout sessions and social activities.

The Automotive Body Parts Association (ABPA) has announced that registration is now open for the 2017 ABPA Annual Meeting & Convention. The meeting will take place April 25-28 in Atlanta, and early-bird registration rates are available before Feb. 1st.

“Attendance at our Annual Meeting & Convention has grown significantly over the past few years as more and more aftermarket parts industry leaders have discovered the value of gathering with their peers to hear about the latest industry trends, get updates on legal and legislative issues, and learn about best practices they can apply in their own business,” said Ed Salamy, executive director of ABPA.

There will be keynote speakers, and, back by popular demand, educational breakout sessions. Plus, there will be a lineup of social activities including a welcome reception, ABPA awards and banquet, and a tentatively scheduled golf tournament.

Several sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities for the meeting remain available. Find out more by clicking here.
