The MSO Symposium, which has been held during NACE the past three years, will have a new name going foward: the Collision Repair Executive Symposium (CRES).
The MSO Symposium has been an extremely popular event during NACE since its debut in 2011, drawing attendance from the largest multi-shop operators in the collision repair industry. The business event will now cater to a broader group of collision repair executives, allowing it to be more inclusive of some of the best operators in the collision repair industry. It will also include some changes in content including a focus on operations and participation from insurance company executives presenting information on trends.
“Some businesses are preparing for expansion through growth or acquisition while others are preparing for merger or divestiture,” said Dan Risley, Automotive Service Association (ASA) president and executive director. “This symposium will provide information essential in understanding market conditions and preparing for the future, regardless of the size of the business.”
The CRES will open with a reception the evening of Thursday, July 31 at Cobo Center in Detroit. Presentations will begin Friday, Aug. 1 at 8 a.m. and conclude at 3:30 p.m. with breaks and a luncheon to allow for networking and peer-to-peer discussion.
Registration for CRES will open later in April, however hotel reservations can be made now via the Travel section of www.NACEexpo.com for the week of July 27 and all events taking place during Industry Week in Detroit. These include the many board and association meetings Monday, July 28; the CIC summer meeting Tuesday, July 29; the I-CAR Conference and Gala 35th Anniversary Networking Event Wednesday, July 30; and NACE/CARS 2014 July 30 through Aug. 2.
Now in its 32nd year, NACE/CARS 2014 will feature numerous opportunities for technical training, business education, demonstrations, networking and technology showcases for stakeholders, owners, managers and technicians in the collision and service repair industries.
