I-CAR®, the Inter-Industry on Auto Collision Repair, continues to announce its series of new presentation topics for SEMA 2022 show attendees, offering a variety of classroom and stage demonstrations to increase collision repair industry knowledge and skills at the annual Las Vegas convention, to be held Nov. 1-4.
I-CAR Director of Technical Products & Curriculum Bud Center announced the complete list of sessions to be held, including live interviews and panel discussions with:
- Chief Automotive-Structural Holding with Mike Croker, global repair and training product manager
- Lucid Motors with Jake Rodenroth, North American body repair program operations manager
- Snap-On ADAS True Point with Tim Garner, market development manager
There will also be a series of other technical topic panel discussions hosted by I-CAR and SCRS.
“We’ve curated a robust and relevant mix of presentations, courses, sessions and live stage demonstrations will provide attendees with the most comprehensive education and hands-on learning we’ve ever been able to offer,” said Center.
“Also, registration remains open for our first-time MIG Welding Technology & Applications training session focusing on basic to advanced techniques and ideal for collision repair, classic car, hot rod and vehicle builders/rebuilders as well as other technicians," Center said. "Although not eligible for I-CAR credit, to encourage newer technicians and vehicle builders out there, I-CAR is making this popular MIG Welding session available for $75 (normally $150) and will include complimentary, hands-on welding practice at the SEMA Collision Repair Stage.”
An online registration link for all I-CAR class topics is now open and available through Nov 3. Stay updated with the complete I-CAR schedule of free presentations and live stage demonstrations here.
Attendees will also be able to register on-site outside I-CAR Classrooms S224 and S225. As previously noted, I-CAR will hold a free series of live educational presentations on topics including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Electric Vehicles (EVs), Scanning and Calibrations, Welding and more at the SEMA Collision Repair & Refinish Stage.
Additionally, I-CAR, a SEMA Education partner, will participate in the free and new SEMA ADAS Showcase #39007, in Upper South Hall and SEMA Electrify #11268 in the North Hall.
Individuals who take I-CAR educational training gain knowledge and credits valid toward the I-CAR Platinum™ designation, given to collision repair professionals who achieve and maintain high levels of role-relevant training that contributes to complete, safe and quality repairs, and which also contributes to I-CAR Gold Class® recognition for their repair facility, both representing the highest role-relevant training achievement recognized by the collision repair industry.
