With evolving market trends reshaping the collision repair industry, the 6th Annual Positivity Summit, hosted by Elite Body Shop Solutions and BodyShop Booster, aims to provide shop owners with actionable strategies to stay ahead.
The free online event, scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Feb. 7, will feature more than 50 experts offering insights on leveraging industry changes for sustained growth.
"Right now, we are riding the crest of another wave of change, and shops that understand how to harness these shifts will thrive," said Ryan Taylor, co-host of the event. "The Summit is an incredible opportunity to hear from leading industry experts and successful shop owners who will share exactly how to position your business to not only survive but grow forward."
Over the course of seven hours, attendees will gain insights on pressing industry topics, including artificial intelligence (AI), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), electric vehicles (EVs), changes in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements, and straight-through processing. Panels and interviews will focus on helping repairers build stronger teams, boost profitability and implement forward-thinking strategies.
Success in the collision industry requires proactive adaptation, emphasized event co-host Dave Luehr.
“Positivity isn’t about ignoring reality, it’s about facing challenges head-on, learning from them, and finding opportunities others might miss,” he said. “As we navigate these changes, the key to success is taking action, and that’s exactly what we’re offering at the Summit: real, actionable steps to help your shop grow forward.”
Each speaker will provide a specific takeaway that shop owners can implement immediately. Topics will include how to position a repair shop for market shifts, leverage innovation to outpace competitors, and implement strategies to drive profitability.
The free event allows attendees to join throughout the day, even if they cannot stay for the full duration. Registration is now open at CollisionSummit.com. For more information, contact info@elitebodyshopsolutions.com.
