Episode Notes:  If you are part of this rapidly changing, constantly-challenging but extremely exciting & rewarding collision industry… shop owner, equipment manufacturer, vendor, technician or industry resource… you know exactly what season it is now, right?... the “conference & tradeshow season”. Follow along on a transformative journey as I recount the game-changing insights gained from industry conferences and trade shows that are revolutionizing the collision industry. Picture yourself walking through the bustling halls of SEMA or sitting in on a panel session at CIC, where the latest innovations in tools and technologies aren't just on display but are dissected and demystified to ensure the safety and success of your business. This episode isn't simply about what's new in the world of ADAS and electric vehicle repairs; it's an invitation to step up and become an integral part of our industry's evolution. I’ll share how a single keynote speech reshaped my outlook on personal growth, and learn why rubbing elbows at these conferences can skyrocket your operations and bottom line. I'll share tales of networking magic that can only happen in these collaborative spaces, where strategies and insider knowledge flow as freely as the coffee!  Networking, is the magic that occurs within the conference halls. It's where strategies are exchanged, partnerships are forged, and one's operations can experience exponential growth. The narrative weaves through tales of networking success, offering a compelling case for why rubbing elbows with industry peers is more than a social exercise—it's a business imperative. These events are not just showcases for the latest gadgets; they serve as pivotal forums for demystifying complex technologies, such as Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and electric vehicle repairs. The message is clear: to thrive in the collision industry, one must be proactive in seeking knowledge and embracing change.
