    • November/December: Possible presenters include a blockchain presentation from a State Farm representative, a 3D printing presentation from Wurth or a presentation on telematics from Cambridge Mobil Telematics (CMT). Kim suggested having CMT present since the other two topics will be covered during the CONNEX Conference. She also thought it would be a good fit due to our focus on APIs and FNOL.

  • CONNEX Presenters

    • We discussed the line-up of presenters who are confirmed and the agenda.

      • Phil asked how much time he should prepare to spend welcoming conference attendees. Paul said about five minutes and will work with Phil on the opening address.

      • ADAS/Calibration presentation by Greg Peeters from CAR ADAS: Don suggested tailoring the presentation to what a consumer will see and what needs to be done to be calibration correctly. Dustin said we could focus on past, present and future on the subject.

      • Blockchain: Don suggested focusing on where we are going and how it has evolved-past, present and future. Dustin suggested incorporating what the next big impact is with blockchain. Paul mentioned that most of the top 25 carriers are sponsoring a blockchain project and it will be expanding. This could lead to an opportunity to develop CIECA Standards.

      • AI Panel: We are in the process of planning the AI panel and will include an AI Committee update during the annual meeting.

      • EV Panel: Rivian has confirmed participation We are still in the process of planning the panel.

    • Michael Giarrizzo from DCR Systems offered to speak during the conference about the compilation of repair plan documentation. Don said that the dynamics are going to change with the complexity of vehicles and this subject might be good for a future CIECAST webinar. Dustin said it would be good to correlate it back to cycle time and CSI as well as why it’s important to carriers and customers. Don added that he could cover the efficiencies it creates in the repair process and LOR.

Great meeting. Thank you everyone for your input!
