By SEMA is cancelled - now what? 🚘
While we will certainly miss the hustle and bustle of reuniting with friends in Vegas, we won't miss out on the awesome content that the aftermarket has come to expect of this highly anticipated fall event.
SEMA and many other organizations have taken to an online platform for the duration of 2020's trade show season. Hear from thought-leaders and influencers on important topics that will help fuel your business, discover new tools and industry trends that will keep your shop cutting-edge, and virtually network with colleagues and peers ... all from your living room.
We have compiled a list of a few shows that we think you should log-in to. 👀 💻
BIMRS Virtual Annual Conference & Meeting
BIMRS was started in 1993 by a group of independent BMW service shops. Not only was there an information exchange about complex repair problems, but they wanted better efficiency to serve the customer. They began to meet annually where member shops from all over the world would come together for a four-day training event on subjects including diesel & gasoline engine diagnostics, car programing & updates, BUS systems, and much more. This event is supported by some of the best trainers in the industry, using factory-level training materials & diagnostic equipment.
This year, BIMRS has opened up the conference to non-members as well, beginning on Tuesday, October 6th and running through October 15th. You can check out the schedule here and register here.
