Automotive Repair Trade Shows Will Combine in 2017

Sept. 15, 2016

The Automechanika Chicago tradeshow and the NACE (International Autobody Congress & Exposition) will be staged together July 26-29, 2017, in Chicago.

Messe Frankfurt produces the international Automechanika trade shows. The Automechanika Chicago show is held every other year. “We are extremely pleased with this alliance. The industry has been asking for this and we listened,” says Dennis Smith, president and CEO of Messe Frankfurt North America.

The first Automechanika Chicago show was held in April of 2015 in partnership with the U.S. division of UBM plc, a business-to-business events and trade show organizer.

The Automechanika Chicago and NACE shows serve the automotive service and collision repair markets.
