DIAMOND BAR, Calif. – The Professional Restylers Organization (PRO), a council of the Specialty Equipment Market Association, invites all industry professionals to attend its first “Novemberfest” reception to meet and network with OEM restylers, manufacturers, industry media and more on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Las Vegas Hilton Ballroom D from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., coinciding with the annual SEMA Show.

PRO is dedicated to addressing the challenges facing the restyling segment of the automotive aftermarket and to developing effective strategies for dealing with industry-specific issues.

“This is the first-ever PRO reception in Las Vegas and we’re determined to set the bar high and host an event our members and other industry guests will find beneficial,” said PRO Council Chairman Karl Stearns. “The restyling industry is strong right now and there are many exciting opportunities, so we encourage everyone to make plans to attend Novemberfest.”

Attendees do not have to be members of PRO or SEMA to be a part of this inaugural event, but SEMA representatives will be present for those interested in joining on-site.

An open bar and hors d’oeuvres will be provided at Novemberfest, thanks to donations from event sponsors Advantage Truck Accessories, Insignia Group, Restyler’s Choice, Katzkin, ICI and Classic Design Concepts. All attendees will receive commemorative T-shirts from Eagle Enterprises.

Also, leading companies and individuals in the restyling industry will be honored at Novemberfest. Winners of the following awards will be announced: PRO Restyler of the Year sponsored by Insignia Group, PRO Manufacturer of the Year sponsored by Grote Lighting, the Jim Borre Lifetime Achievement Award and the Nat Danas Person of the Year Award sponsored by Truck and Auto Customizing magazine.
