Auto Recyclers “IT” Show Schedule Released

Hybrids
As many of you already know the annual IT show – Auto Recyclers Reunion and Review – is to be held in Connecticut May 15th and 16th. The complete schedule has been released and is packed with great seminars and workshops! With DJ Harrington as the Master of Ceremonies the show should get off to an exciting and inspirational start.
DJ’s introduction on Friday will be followed by some very important information presented by Car-Part about the NMVTIS VIN Reporting Requirements for auto recyclers. Later in the day we are looking forward to two different seminars by Counts Consulting. First Jim Counts will present his seminar “It’s All About System and Focus” which will provide us with some insight into how to create more efficient systems to run our business. The second seminar will be presented by Robert Counts, “Sales Made Easy”, will teach how to better approach phone calls to increase sales. We have found the Counts consulting seminars very inspirational and informative in the past and we are really excited to see them on the schedule again this year. The whole day Friday is packed with great seminars and workshops, too many to mention in this quick blog post and we are looking forward to them all. Of course the grand finale on Friday night will be the clam bake and the famous IT Charity Auction. If you plan to go to the seminars during the day be sure to stick around for the evening events as they are not to be missed!
Saturday offers another full day of seminars and workshops. We are particularly looking forward to the presentation by Craig Van Batenburg, “Hybrid Salvage . . . Keeping It Safe and Profitable”. As more hybrid cars are introduced to the market the demand for parts of course will increase. But as you can imagine dismantling a Hybrid vehicle has different requirements and safety precautions than what is standard for non-electric vehicles. Specialists such as Van Batenburg have a lot to offer the automotive recycling industry as he can help us prepare for this change in demand. The days events will also include a semnar by ARA University, two more seminars by Counts Consulting and several workshops presented by Car-Part.
Below is a list of some of the Seminars and Workshops being offered at this years IT show. This list is subject to change and for the complete schedule with times and more detailed information please visit: www.meetusatit.com
