The Group Membership Meeting Set for March

The four-day meeting will feature informational panels as well as one-on-one sessions between members and supplier partners.

The Automotive Parts Services Group (The Group) will hold its membership conference March 27-30 at the Gaylord National Harbor in National Harbor, Maryland.

The four-day meeting will feature a variety of informational panels as well as one-on-one sessions between members of The Group and supplier partners. A vendor expo and awards reception will be held during the conference. Also on the agenda are industry updates, breakout sessions and individual marketing seminars for each banner-marketing brand.

All conference attendees are invited to a special dinner at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. The museum is home to more than 1.8 million objects and exhibits including the Smithsonian automobile collection, which contains 80 full-size vehicles and the current exhibit entitled “America on the Move,” which explores the role of transportation in American history.

“This year members of the Federated Alliance and The Pronto Network will meet together for the first time in one location. It promises to be a very productive meeting between members, supplier partners and associates,” said Larry Pavey, CEO of The Group. “This conference gives us the opportunity to interact and collaborate as well as celebrate our new partnership. We look forward to visiting our nation’s capital and working together to set a course for the future.”
