The American Trucking Associations’ Technology & Maintenance Council and the Heavy Duty Repair Forum will co-locate their fall events at the 2021 TMC Fall Meeting and Transportation Technology Exhibition this September in Cleveland.

This is the first time the HD Repair Forum, the largest conference solely dedicated to the heavy-duty collision repair industry, has co-located with another industry event.

“Co-locating with TMC was a natural fit considering many of our advisory board members are regular attendees and supporters of the TMC events and supporters of their efforts to improve the industry,” HD Repair Forum President and Co-Founder Brian Nessen said in a a press release.

TMC Executive Director Robert Braswell said they are pleased to welcome the event and its attendees.

“Our events truly complement each other and should provide tremendous benefits for our members, attendees, vendors and sponsors,” he said.

As a result of co-locating with the TMC, Repair Forum attendees and partners will have an opportunity to attend the TMC's technical exhibition, educational sessions and meetings, as well as the many events surrounding the national technician skills competition, TMCSuperTech 2021.

Nessen also announced HDRF will now be held twice a year with a spring and fall format moving forward at venues and dates to be announced.

TMC’s 2021 Fall Meeting will be held September 12-16 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland. The HD Repair Forum will take place September 15-16, with a schedule of events and registration information coming soon.
