It is on the back of such great news that we look forward to hearing from Mike Anderson as part of Symposium2021. This years event, titled Panorama, hosted by the National Collision Repairer looks forward to welcoming panel and collision repairer Members to the Park Royal Monash, Melbourne on 15th July.
Mike Anderson demonstrated his fantastic skills as a keynote speaker in 2019, imparting his wisdom and experience from his time with Collision Advice.
Collision Advice is a leading industry research, consulting and reference organisation from the United States.
Capricorn has assisted both the National Collision Repairer and Collision Advice to team up with keynote speaker Mike Anderson who will present remotely from the US.
This is a highly anticipated event, so we encourage Members to register early and take advantage of the collective experience and knowledge of the presenters and attendees.
Registrations are now open, with early bird offers available. More information can be found here
