KottschadeAs chairman of this year's NACE, the collision industry's No. 1 event, I would like to personally welcome you to NACE 2006! We expect more than 30,000 industry professionals from around the globe to take part in this year's event, proving that NACE continues to strengthen the collision repair industry, both at home and abroad.

NACE 2006 is bringing together the entire collision repair industry to you - the collision repair professional. From frame machines and lifts to the latest technological advances in the collision repair industry, the Day 2 of the NACE exposition is proving to be a success. And let's not forget about the addition of the Auto Glass Expo @ NACE. What a great opportunity for shops to visit with the auto glass industry's most knowledgeable experts!

Once again, NACE delivers unlimited opportunities to network, and to learn about and explore the issues affecting your segment of the industry. Keeping you current and up-to-date on the latest technologies and products is an ongoing goal of NACE. This morning's OE Forum expanded on that goal, allowing a group of OEM representatives to discuss the concerns of collision repair professionals. And if you were among those who visited with the various exhibitors today during the Expo, you probably witnessed NACE's commitment to that goal as well.

I also noticed an abundance of people in the New Products Pavilion today. Over 80 percent of NACE attendees expect to see new products at the show. The New Products Pavilion meets those expectations, allowing participating exhibitors to showcase the newest products about to hit the collision repair market. Make sure you vote on the best new product of the year in the New Products Pavilion. Winners will be announced tomorrow!

Be sure to check the Online Daily News for continuous, up-to-the-minute coverage of NACE 2006. We will continue to keep you informed of the latest events at this year's show.

Sincerely,
Geralynn Kottschade
