Around the World, Together at MTE

The best part of any global events are the contacts you make at the after-hour events and MTE is no exception.  All events are included in your registration, so plan to attend them all.

The Octagon 4:30pm – 5:30pm 

Join in an open discussion on all the hot topics affecting the industry. Here’s your chance to voice your opinion or listen to others. Be prepared to cheer those you agree with and disagree with those you don’t. Moderated by Paul Cain and Lee Roth, legends in PDR and Detailing, and open to everyone, this is a must-attend.

All-Industry Hang-Out 5:30pm – 7:30pm 

Then build on the conversations you started earlier. Join the All-Industry Hang-Out, a party highlighting the things that bring us together and make us stand out. Detailers – visit the International Detailers Association Rendezvous while S.M.A.R.T. and Dent Repair folks are welcome to meet at the National Association of Paintless Dent Repair Watering Hole. Look around for others who work in the same industry as you do. Meet others from your part of the world at the International Pavilion. 

Start connecting Thursday night in preparation for a impactful Exhibit Floor Day on Friday.
