STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
The Midwest Collision Repair Trade Show pools the resources of five active Midwest state associations. Last year was a huge success and we fully expect it to be even better in 2023. One of our key areas of focus will be on the year of the technician. There will be live hands on projects and relevant training for collision repair technicians. The Midwest Collision Repair Trade Show will bring back the important and popular education series in 2023. Attention owners, managers and staff… Come work ON your business at this exclusive trade show held in the middle of the heartland.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
Other successful trade shows are far away, Vegas, New Jersey, Texas. The Midwest Collision Repair Trade Show is right here in our back yard in the easy to get to, wonderful destination of Kansas City and Overland Park. Top vendors are investing heavily to be there to answer questions and meet your needs. National iconic presenters will add wisdom and knowledge you won’t get anywhere else. Your business needs you to be here.
WORKING ON YOUR BUSINESS, NOT IN IT
The must-read book “The E-Myth” focused on the fact that most small business owners and managers work IN their businesses when then really should spend more time working ON them. Escape the walls of your business, rub elbows with your peers and learn from top vendors and presenters. Then, return home enriched to apply what you have learned in your day to day operations.
