The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) has announced that Oct. 14th is the final day to take advantage of registration discounts available to SEMA Show attendees, and also marks the last day to register and have badges mailed prior to the event. The cost for attendees to register for the show is $40 per person for early registration and covers the entire four days of the show. After Oct. 14th, online or on-site attendee registration at the show is $90 per person. Register online at www.semashow.com.

After the Oct. 14th deadline, Repairer Driven Education (RDE) sessions will also increase by $10 each when purchased individually, and a Full Series Pass to all SCRS functions throughout the week will increase from $375 to the on-site fee of $400. To take advantage of current discounts, visit www.scrs.com/rde to register for either a Full Series Pass or to individually select sessions.

SCRS highly recommends pre-registration to ensure your attendance; however, on-site registration options to all SCRS programs will be available, space permitting. On-site registration for sessions can be purchased in the main show registration area in the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, and there will be a dedicated registration table outside of RDE sessions in the upper level of the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall, outside of rooms N231-N241. The upper level can be accessed via the escalator in the North Hall Lobby, next to the food court.

The 2016 lineup of education sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday boasts nearly 30 sessions that have been specifically selected to address topics and solutions to help collision repair businesses prosper in our ever-changing industry. Whether attendees have an interest in marketing, estimating, business management or technical operations within the repair facility, there is content that is designed and compiled to provide the resources necessary to set your business apart.

Thursday’s schedule will feature one of the most lauded educational offerings at the SEMA Show, the OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit. This year, the event will feature companies and individuals with rich histories of producing sophisticated advancements in the automotive industry, and will highlight architectural and technological developments in modern vehicles and how those advancements intersect with the repair process.

The program will include representatives from eight different automakers and other renowned industry contributors with three sessions titled:

  • Restoring Vehicle Functionality Through Electronic Technology and Diagnostics
  • Advanced Vehicle Materials, Construction and Repair Considerations
  • Meet the Trainer: A candid discussion with individuals responsible for manufacturer training and curriculum development for technical staff and industry outreach

Registration is required, and can be selected as stand-alone events or as part of the RDE Full Series Pass.
