Welcome to the NACE Online Daily News, an online report highlighting events of the International Autobody Congress and Exposition (NACE). Now in its eighth year, the NACE Online Daily News is published each day of the show (Dec. 4-7, 2003). We'll be reporting from the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., with coverage of seminars, keynote addresses, town hall meetings and trade show activities.
In a matter of 21 years, NACE has evolved into the No. 1 global event for the collision repair industry. This year's event promises to exceed all expectations with its array of management, industry and technical seminars, and a world-class exposition displaying the latest collision repair products, services, equipment and technology.
The Online Daily News, the official online publication of NACE 2003, will bring the excitement of the show to people around the world. This year's coverage includes the latest news, photos, videos and trivia streamed directly to your computer screen each day. In an effort to bring coverage to a larger audience, AutoInc. also offers the NACE Online Daily Digest. Digest participants will receive daily e-mail updates providing links to our coverage of this year's exposition. Click here to sign up today!
Tonight's Blockparty at Universal CityWalk provided one of the many networking opportunities available to NACE 2003 attendees. NACE has always been an excellent way to network with other collision repair professionals. And the next four days promise to provide even more chances for attendees to mingle with the NACE crowd while catching-up with old friends.
It is my pleasure, on behalf of AutoInc. Magazine and ASA - the NACE show sponsor - to welcome you to Orlando and NACE 2003.
Please visit the Online Daily News often as we will be updating it constantly.
Sincerely,
Angie Wilson
Editor, AutoInc. Magazine
The Action Demonstration Arena is empty today, but will accommodate standing-room only crowds over the next three days.
Exhibitors displaying the latest collision equipment spent the past few days assembling their products.
Many exhibitors were putting finishing touches on their booths Thursday night in preparation for the expected 30,000 attendees.
