The American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council and the Heavy Duty Repair Forum will co-locate their fall events at the 2021 TMC Fall Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition in September in Cleveland, Ohio.
“We are pleased to welcome the HD Repair Forum and their attendees to join us this September,” said Robert Braswell, TMC’s executive director. “Our events truly complement each other and should provide tremendous benefits for our members, attendees, vendors, and sponsors.”
The HD Repair Forum is the largest conference solely dedicated to the heavy-duty collision repair industry, and with this announcement it will mark the first time the event has co-located with another industry event.
HD Repair Forum president and co-founder Brian Nessen also said HDRF now will be held twice a year with a spring and fall format moving forward at venues and dates to be announced.
“Our attendees have asked for a bi-annual event almost since our inaugural event. And for this year, our advisory board suggested we consider co-locating with another industry event as we move back to in-person conferences,” he said. “Co-locating with TMC was a natural fit considering many of our advisory board members are regular attendees and supporters of the TMC events and supporters of their efforts to improve the industry.”
As a result of co-locating with the TMC, Repair Forum attendees and partners will have an opportunity to attend the Council’s technical exhibition, educational sessions and meetings, as well as the many events surrounding the National Technician Skills Competition, TMCSuperTech 2021.
TMC’s 2021 Fall Meeting will be held Sept. 12-16 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland. The HD Repair Forum will take place Sept. 15-16, with a schedule of events and registration information coming soon.
