CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts is going west this year – selecting Seattle, Wash., as the location for its 2011 National Conference. The conference will be held September 24-27 at the Washington State Convention Center.
 
More than 350 store owners and employees will join the CARSTAR corporate leadership team to plan for the growth of CARSTAR in the years ahead, celebrate the successes of CARSTAR store owners, participate in training programs and share time together as the CARSTAR Nation. The event also will include a vendor expo featuring the top manufacturers and service providers in the industry.
 
The theme for the 2011 National Conference is “Performance of the CARSTAR Nation,” and all activities will focus on how the nation’s largest group of auto body repair experts can drive business performance, expand to new store locations, enhance insurance industry relationships and strengthen their national brand image.
 
“Our national conference is an incredible opportunity for CARSTAR owners and managers from around the country to gather to share ideas and solutions, plan together, address the challenges facing our industry and explore how collectively we can leverage the strength and power of the CARSTAR Nation,” said David Byers, CEO of CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts. “Seattle is a terrific host city for our conference, and we have a very strong presence in that region with 19 CARSTAR stores.
