SEMA, the Collision Industry Conference and SCRS’ Repairer Driven Education continue today, and we’ll be here for it all.

Highlights today from the 8 a.m.-noon CIC include:

• A CIECA update by Executive Director Fred Iantorno. Given CCC’s major announcement in September of its EMS to BMS switch and an unrelated proposal to have CIECA work on an environmental reporting standard, there should be some interesting discussion here.
• Toby Chess of the Technical Committee and the SCRS Education Committee will tell you “Everything you didn’t know about Dedicated Bench setup,” according to CIC, at 9:50 a.m.
• I-CAR’s John Van Alstyne will follow him at 11 a.m. Nov. 2 with an update on the educational organization’s efforts on what it describes as a “Technical Tsunami” coming from OEMs.
• CIC will host industry awards at 8 a.m. Nov. 2. Last year, the ceremony also saw CARSTAR Mundelein co-owner Jeanne Silver named to the collision industry’s Hall of Eagles, the first hall of fame inductee since 2012.

Repairer Driven Education Day 2 runs from 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. today. Find out more about that lineup here.
