Hoping to continue to grow and bring leading edge topics that are relevant to collision repair industry advancements, WMABA is asking for submissions by industry leaders.
Collision P.R.E.P. will follow the format of seminar presentations, as well as organized panel discussions. The focus will be on relevant and timely information that addresses issues collision repairers are currently facing.
The deadline for submitting a presentation is Friday, Dec. 7, 2018. Submissions received after that may not be considered for this event.
To submit a proposal, email the following information to [email protected]. The email should contain the information in either the email body or an editable document:
  • Presentation title
  • List of all presenters involved (include name, title, company and email address)
  • The presentation description
  • List of at least three takeaways for the attendee

Note: there is no speaker compensation for participation as a presenter in Collision P.R.E.P.

WMABA encourages NORTHEAST exhibitors to support WMABA through sponsorship of the Collision P.R.E.P. program.
