The new website for NACE is now live at www.NACEexpo.com. Dan Risley, ASA president and executive director, stated, “With so many new things happening around this long-standing conference and expo, it was important to roll out a new website. The event has so many positive changes in training, education and displays, and they are now accurately reflected by this site.†Now in its 32nd year, NACE 2014 will feature numerous opportunities for technical training, business education, demonstrations, networking and technology showcases for stakeholders, owners, managers and technicians in the collision and service repair industries.
Highlights of the new site include a modern look, easy navigation, quick response, and a parallel mobile site. Updates on the show can be found on the home page of the site and via social media channels. Visit the homepage of the website for complete social media channels.
