Family. The word comes up repeatedly when URG CEO Kristy Werner describes what makes the automotive recycling industry special and why the annual URG Conference matters so much. "I never would have expected to have so many people in this industry as close friends," she explains, highlighting the connections that drive business growth and professional development.
From April 10-12, 2024, Orlando becomes the epicenter of automotive recycling as industry professionals gather for what promises to be an exceptional educational and networking experience. With over 60 carefully curated sessions led by 87 speakers, this year's conference addresses the evolving needs of recycling operations of all sizes and types.
What sets this conference apart is its inclusive approach. Whether you operate a small self-service facility or manage multiple full-service locations, you'll find relevant, actionable content designed to solve real business challenges. Emerging technologies like EV recycling and AI applications share the spotlight with proven operational strategies, creating a balanced program that prepares attendees for both present demands and future opportunities.
Beyond the formal sessions, the event offers multiple networking opportunities including an off-site gathering, auction night benefiting the URG Scholarship Foundation, and specialized events like the Women in Networking "United in Pink" happy hour. These connections often prove as valuable as the educational content, with many attendees citing the relationships formed during these interactions as instrumental to their business success.
The conference also showcases the comprehensive benefits of URG membership, from marketplace expansion tools to warranty support systems. Diamond sponsors eBay Motors and easySOFT join numerous gold and silver sponsors in supporting the industry's premier annual event.
