Engaging panel discussions have become a staple in recent years at NORTHEAST. Attendees will not want to miss “Survivor: Exploring Trends That Will Shape the Next Decade & Beyond” and “Getting More ADAS in Your Shop: What Does It Take?”

Attendees will be inspired and entertained by Dave Luehr during “Thriving in Chaos,” who will examine the mindset and culture of businesses who have flourished in the face of turmoil to help shops create a blueprint to come out on top. (Those looking to expand their KPI knowledge before the show can take advantage of a special separate “Know Your Numbers” workshop, presented by Dave Luehr’s Elite Body Shop Academy, happening Thursday, March 14. Details are available at aaspnjnortheast.com/events.)

Ensuring the show’s commitment to offer the ultimate experience, the educational slate has been expanded this year, kicking off early Friday morning with the first-ever “Collision Advice NORTHEAST Workshop” series, featuring the one and only Mike Anderson and his team of expert speakers. Highlights include Anderson’s “100 Percent Disassembly” session and Sheryl Driggers’ “Game Changer CSR.” Anderson will return on Sunday to present “Success Today, Success Tomorrow.”
