Since our first Positivity Summit in 2020,

we've witnessed massive shifts in our industry.
  • A pandemic,
  • a huge backlog,
  • unexpected parts shortages,
  • rapid technology developments,
  • and so much more. 
Independent and dealer body shops have faced a lot of challenges. AND WE ARE STILL THRIVING!
"What a great program!

I had no plan to sit here the full day but each speaker was full of such good information I didn't dare leave. Dave and Ryan had great questions to glean that extra piece of valuable insight. I have pages and pages of notes. Thank you so much!"
