The 2016 annual meeting and trade show of the Automotive Body Parts Association (ABPA) will be held April 26-29, at the Miami Hyatt Regency Hotel in Miami. The event is a gathering of aftermarket parts manufacturers, distributors, insurance industry executives and collision repair companies. In addition to the ABPA’s organizational business meetings, the event features keynote speakers who will discuss legislative, legal and management topics, with educational breakout sessions and panel discussions on key issues affecting attendees’ businesses.
More details and online registration for the event can be found at the ABPA’s newsletter, “Body Language” (abpabodylanguage.com). Attendees also can reserve a hotel package at a rate of $159 per night.
“Our 2015 annual meeting in Chicago was one of the best attended and most successful ever, but I think everybody is looking forward to warmer weather for this year’s meeting,” said Ed Salamy, executive director of the ABPA. “Our annual meeting is a great opportunity for the leaders of the aftermarket parts industry to get together, discover the latest trends, and make valuable connections.”
