CONNEX 2024
Why attend?
Join leaders from across the collision industry for an engaging two-day conference to discuss the intersection of business and technology to ensure the collision industry is prepared for the future.
With ADAS and autonomous features growing with every model year and new EV models expected from nearly every major manufacturer, technology is at the forefront of automobile design and the driving experience. All of this technology translates into data, and new repair methods, supply chains and repair procedures.
CIECA members and non-members are invited to join us for two days of presentations and discussions about these emerging technologies, how they impact the collision industry and what we are doing to prepare for the rapidly-changing business environment.
The CIECA CONNEX conference is an excellent opportunity to meet and network with leaders from some of the most influential companies in the industry. Conference attendees are eligible to receive credit toward a professional designation from the Automotive Management Institute (AMi).
After the conference, please join us for an exclusive tour of the American Center for Mobility.
