Mike Anderson of Collision Advice presented "Be Extraordinary."
PHOTOS: Southeast Collision Conference a Success in Richmond, VA
Published April 14, 2023
The second annual Southeast Collision Conference (SCC) ran April 14-15 at the Meadow Event Park in Doswell, VA, just north of Richmond, co-hosted by the Washington Metropolitan AutoBody Association (WMABA) and the Carolinas Collision Association (CCA.)
Autobody News' Stacey Phillips attended the show April 14 and provided exclusive coverage.
The trade show floor was sold out and packed with about 50 vendors with more booth space than before, allowing them to bring a more interactive experience with more product demonstrations. Among those vendors were EV start-ups Rivian and Lucid. The education sessions and panel discussions were also more interactive and hands-on where possible.
