Gear Up For 2008 Symposium

With a theme of “Shift Forward,” this year’s Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium (GAAS) will be held Tuesday, May 20 and Wednesday, May 21 at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Chicago. Over 30 speakers are ready to provide you with the tools to help accelerate your business forward. There is no other networking and educational event where the “who’s who” of the industry gather each year.

You can download the full conference brochure by clicking on the cover file in the upper right. And don’t forget to visit the agenda page for the latest schedule and the speakers page for complete bios of this year’s presenters. Plus, when you register before March 24, you can save $200 off regular registration rates.
 
Over 400 professionals attended the 2007 Symposium. Slides, audio files and transcripts from that event are available to paid attendees by clicking here (password required).

The Symposium is a unique conference—each year the net proceeds of the event go toward scholarships to benefit students preparing for automotive aftermarket careers. In 2007, 154 students received assistance. In just over 10 years, the Symposium has donated over $1.3 million in scholarships to 1,300 students.  For more information on the scholarship program, visit www.automotivescholarships.com.
