The collision repair industry is coming together in a big way this fall as the Tennessee Collision Repairers Association announced it will host the inaugural Music City Collision Conference, Sept. 26–27 at the Southwest Conference Center in Nashville, TN.
Kicking off the Music City Collision Conference is a Top Golf Fundraiser on Sept. 25. This event is not just a fun networking opportunity -- it’s a chance to support the future of the collision repair industry.
All proceeds after expenses will go directly to two critical initiatives: helping Tennessee students and instructors attend SkillsUSA Nationals by covering travel expenses where needed, and providing advanced training for instructors to elevate their skills and improve their collision repair programs.
TCRA invites all conference participants, vendors and community partners to get involved in this impactful fundraiser.
The two-day show will feature a dynamic trade show floor with leading vendors from across the industry and educational sessions led by some of the most respected voices in collision repair.
Industry giants like Mike Anderson of Collision Advice, Mark Olson of VECO Experts, and Dave Luehr of Elite Body Shop Solutions will be just some of the names as the conference’s education lineup, offering attendees unmatched insight into operations, OEM procedures, ADAS calibration, leadership and the future of the industry.
“This is more than a trade show,” said Steve Fishe, TCRA president and owner of Plan B Autobody. “The Music City Collision Conference is about raising the bar for shop owners, technicians, and managers across the region. It’s time for our state to have a platform that brings the best of the industry directly to our local businesses.”
Attendees can expect:
• Cutting-edge training and keynote sessions
• Live demonstrations on the show floor
• Networking opportunities with peers and industry influencers
• A wide range of exhibitors showcasing the latest tools, technologies and services
Whether you're running a shop, managing a team or supplying the industry, this is the conference you don’t want to miss.
