Plans for the third annual HD Repair Forum have been confirmed. The 2020 event is scheduled for March 24-25 at The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel, Fort Worth, Texas. Registration will open in the fall of 2019.

“The HD Repair Forum brings together all stakeholders from the heavy-duty collision repair industry. The event provides attendees an opportunity to discuss trends, address industry challenges and evaluate key business strategies,” says Jennie Lenk, HD Repair Forum communications manager.

The 2019 event saw significant growth from its inaugural meeting, proving the HD Repair Forum, with the guidance of its advisory board members, is addressing the needs of the industry, organizers say.

A few of the highlights from the 2019 event included presentations from Daimler, Navistar, Peterbilt, Volvo, Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association and I-CAR. Session topics focused on myriad industry issues, such as advanced driver assistance systems, electric and hybrid vehicles, liquified and compressed natural gas vehicles and a panel of insurance executives discussing claims handling and industry collaboration.

“Attendees also witnessed a historic announcement and well-earned recognition, as I-CAR acknowledged Penske Truck Collision of Norcross, Ga., as the first-ever commercial vehicle collision repair facility with an I-CAR Gold Class certification,” says Lenk.

In addition to presentations, attendees gathered valuable knowledge for business sustainability and growth in a series of breakout sessions designed around process improvement and profitability.
