Have you signed up for iFLEX at The Car Wash Show? This year, we have an education line up that you won’t want to miss. Our sessions will cover weights and measures compliance, leadership, motor oil trends and how to increase your profits.
This year, we will have an AOCA Talk Live with industry experts from all over the country. This one-hour, interactive panel discussion will provide an opportunity for idea sharing and best practices for successful business operations. Find out what’s new, what’s working and what to avoid in your shop!
Before you spend three days filled with education, you’ll want to take the opportunity to network at our reception on Sunday, April 5. AOCA will be hosting a member’s reception at the Marriott Riverwalk from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Filled with food, fun and dancing, you will want to be there!
