The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) announced it has added more schedule topic details to the website landing pages for the upcoming OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit. The OEM Summit, which will be held Thursday, Nov. 5th during the 2015 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, will focus on emerging trends in vehicle construction and technology and how both of those aspects influence vehicle repairability and collision industry preparation. The program is designed to put SEMA Show attendees in a room with innovators in automotive structural design and technology, providing one of the most unique networking and learning opportunities available to the collision repair industry.
This year, the program will provide three different segments which can be selected individually or collectively as part of the RDE Full Series Pass. The sessions will feature companies and individuals with rich histories of producing sophisticated advancements in the automotive and collision repair fields, and will highlight architectural and technological developments in modern vehicles and how those advancements intersect with the repair process. Sessions will include:
9:30-11:30 a.m.
OEM1 – Advanced Automotive Technology
This will include panel discussions on both Structural Connectivity – Understanding the Future of Automaker Joining Techniques, as well as Tech Crunch – The Role of Programming and Diagnostics in Post-Repair Road Worthiness.
12:30-2:30 p.m.
OEM2 – The Future of Aluminum in the Automotive Industry
3-5 p.m.
OEM3 – The Continuing Evolution of Advanced Steels in Automotive Bodies
Both afternoon sessions will include detailed presentations on technological developments in each of the featured substrate markets, and then transition to panels of automakers known for their use of the featured materials who will discuss real-world applications in vehicular structural design, vehicle safety and vehicle repairability.
Attendees are encouraged to register early, as space will be limited for each of these sessions. Click here to register for the SEMA Show and SCRS Repairer Driven Education series, including the OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit.
