The 2013 International Autobody Conference and Exposition (NACE), which took place Oct. 17 and 18 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, left attendees armed with knowledge to take back to their businesses.
The Automotive Service Association (ASA) reports that more than 170 exhibitors showcased the latest products and services at the show, and more than 100 hours of education were offered. The largest MSO Symposium to date took place on Wednesday, Oct. 16 and featured seminars and panel discussions from industry experts from around the world.
As show management switches from Hanley Wood to Stone Fort Group, next year’s NACE will be combined with the I-CAR Conference, CIC and the Collision Repair Education Foundation’s golf outing into a weeklong event. Industry Week 2014 is slated to take place July 29 through Aug. 2 at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Mich. But until then, check out a recap of the 2013 show below.
