Why attend?
CIECA’s 17th annual conference, CONNEX 2026, will be held Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at the Hilton Palacio del Rio in San Antonio, Texas. All industry stakeholders, including CIECA members and non-members, are invited to attend.
A highlight of the event will be a tour of the Toyota Texas manufacturing facility and Experience Center.
Tours of the Toyota Texas Experience Center have limited availability and will require separate registration at a later date.
Please join us for a day and a half of presentations and discussions on emerging technologies, their impact on the collision industry, and how we are preparing for a rapidly-changing business environment. Perhaps, more than ever, the industry faces new challenges and opportunities created by the software-defined vehicle and the impacts it will have for all segments of the industry. It is critical for CIECA and its members to be positioned to meet these challenges and leverage the opportunities.
The CIECA CONNEX conference is an excellent opportunity to meet and network with leaders from some of the most influential companies in the industry.
