The HD Repair Forum (HDRF), a conference and organization dedicated to the heavy-duty and medium-duty collision repair, recently announced the 2026 two-day conference and networking event will take place March 18 and 19 in Nashville at the Music City Center, co-located with the American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council’s 2026 Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition
HDRF President and co-founder Brian Nessen said, “This is the first time our event will be held in conjunction with TMC’s Annual Meeting. Based upon the feedback from our advisory board and industry leadership, the HDRF sees this as an opportunity for growth of both programs. While HDRF is supportive of all heavy-duty repair industry associations and groups, OEM involvement at TMC is particularly intriguing.”
As a result of co-locating with TMC, HD Repair Forum attendees and supporters will have an opportunity to attend TMC’s exhibit floor as well where they will see the latest in new vehicle technology and explore additional business opportunities with leaders in the heavy-duty fleet industry.
Jennie Lepore, HDRF Communications Director said, “The HD Repair Forum serves all stakeholders in the heavy-duty collision repair industry. We are continually seeking ways to deliver more value to the industry and our collaboration with TMC in 2026 delivers on that commitment.”
A schedule of events and speakers will be available by the end of 2025. Registration will open by then as well.
HD Repair Group offers a dedicated source of information for those involved in collision repair work for heavy-duty and medium duty/commercial vehicles.
