HD Repair Forum releases collision conference agenda
The 2026 HD Repair Forum has released its conference agenda, including presentations from Economist Dr. Christopher Thornberg of Beacon Economics, Pro Spot, BeeLine, KPA, Bendix, 3M, PPG, and more. The conference will take place at the Music City Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, from March 18-19, 2026.
“The HD Repair Forum has benefited my business in many different ways,” noted Jamie Prince, HD Repair Forum advisory board member and president and owner of Ace Truck Body & Trailer Repair. “The networking opportunities with the peers and leaders in the collision industry has been a top contributor. However, the education for our technicians and estimators has been a close second.”
The two-day conference will feature presentations, panel discussions, and educational breakout sessions that will focus on collision repair, U.S. economic data and trends, OSHA compliance, new vehicle technology, welding, rivet bonding, and industry challenges. More specifically, breakout sessions include steering systems and repair, various tracks on body repair products and business management, and shop safety.
The conference will also co-locate with the American Trucking Association’s annual TMC meeting, with reciprocal discounts on events and one hotel room block.
