Organizers of the Automechanika Chicago training event and exposition are going to have a slightly different agenda for 2017.
Show producers Messe Frankfurt and UBM Advanstar will focus on the service repair segment and forego collision repair due to a scheduling conflict with NACE, one of the collision repair industry’s long-time shows.
“We will continue to market our 2017 show to our ABRN audience, for any collision shops that are interested in mechanical products or training, but we will not offer a collision segment training back,” said Jim Savas, vice-president and GM of the Automotive Group at UBM Advanstar, in a written release.
“With a focus on an all-mechanical show in both our training and exhibition efforts, Automechanika Chicago will continue its commitment to training and anticipate an even greater turnout in the upcoming edition,” added Savas.
The Automechanika Chicago 2017 show will take place July 26-28, 2017 at McCormick Place West in Chicago.
