Where does the automotive industry come together to discuss the future? At the Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium. Also known as GAAS, this is the group that has provided more than $1.5 million in scholarships to technician students over the past 12 years. This year, the Symposium was held in Chicago. The symposium featured excellent speakers from across the spectrum of our industry: from technicians and shop owners, to CEOs and Presidents. The overall theme was "Survival in a Changing Aftermarket". Topics included a multinational perspective on the global aftermarket, the changing face of the automotive consumer, and the change in culture in automotive training.
Unfortunately, I am leaving town again early tomorrow, so I can't go into much depth today. Be sure to check back next week. I will be updating regularly with my take on the global perspective of our industry's movers and shakers!
