DALLAS — The 2010 Automotive Service & Repair Week (ASRW) will host an industry forum to discuss timely industry issues, followed by a networking reception Sunday, Oct. 10, from 5-8 p.m. at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. The new forum and reception will conclude the first day of education at ASRW 2010, featuring the International Autobody Congress & Exposition (NACE) and the Congress of Automotive Repair and Service (CARS) events taking place Oct. 10-13.
Designed as a professional venue to discuss relevant, thought-provoking topics, attendees of the industry forum can expect compelling, current and even controversial issues that transcend the industry, event organizers say.
The ASRW Industry Forum will feature two concurrent 45-minute sessions, one for the mechanical industry and one pertaining to collision repair; a 30-minute break; two additional concurrent sessions (one each for the mechanical and collision repair industries); and will conclude with an hour-long networking reception and mixer.
Tickets for the ASRW Industry Forum will be available later this week when attendee registration opens online. Tickets can be purchased for $40 through Aug. 17; $50 after Aug. 17.
Sponsors of this new forum are: the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF), the Women’s Industry Network (WIN), the National Auto Body Council (NABC), the Automotive Management Institute (AMI) and the I-CAR Education Foundation.
