NCMA Opens Conference Registration for ACES

From AAIA AutoFacts

BETHESDA, MD — The 35th annual conference of the National Catalog Managers Association (NCMA) is open for registration. Members of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) who either publish or receive electronic catalog data files are eligible to attend. The NCMA Knowledge Exchange will be held May 3-6 at the Grand Hyatt in Tampa Bay, FL.

The theme, "ACES – Are You All In," leaves little doubt that the principal topic at the conference is the Aftermarket Catalog Enhanced Standard (ACES). Among the presenters will be Scott Luckett, AAIA; Andreas Assman, TecDoc; Jon Owens, Babcox Publications; and John Cristie, CARQUEST. Technology vendors and solution providers may exhibit at the NCMA Vendor Show as part of the conference.
