The HD Repair Forum (HDRF), dedicated to heavy- and medium-duty collision repair, will hold its 2026 event alongside the American Trucking Associations' (ATA's) Technology & Maintenance Council's (TMC's) annual meeting and exhibition.
"This is the first time our event will be held in conjunction with TMC's Annual Meeting," says HDRF President and Co-founder Brian Nessen. "Based upon the feedback from our advisory board and industry leadership, the HDRF sees this as an opportunity for growth of both programs. While HDRF is supportive of all heavy-duty repair industry associations and groups, OEM involvement at TMC is particularly intriguing."

HDRF 2026 will be March 18-19 in Nashville at the Music City Center. Attendees and supporters will be able to attend TMC's exhibit floor.
"The HD Repair Forum serves all stakeholders in the heavy-duty collision repair industry," says Jennie Lepore, HDRF communications director. "We are continually seeking ways to deliver more value to the industry and our collaboration with TMC in 2026 delivers on that commitment."
Registrations will open later this year.
