The Collision Repairers Association (CRA) serves as a voice of South Africa's collision repair industry, bringing together professionals, suppliers, and stakeholders to advance standards, share knowledge, and strengthen the sector.
As a leading advocate for excellence in collision repair, the CRA is committed to keeping its members informed about emerging technologies, industry developments, and best practices.
This year, the CRA is excited to invite delegates to its annual conference, strategically scheduled to coincide with the prestigious Automechanika trade fair. Taking place on Thursday, 30 October 2025, the conference promises to be an invaluable day of learning, networking, and industry insight.
Set in The Grillroom at Gallagher Convention Center in Midrand, Johannesburg, the event will feature an engaging lineup of speakers addressing the latest industry trends, cutting-edge technology, and future developments in collision repair. Beyond the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with proud associate suppliers at their information stands, where they'll showcase innovative products and solutions designed to enhance repair operations.
Registration opens at 9:00 AM, with the conference officially commencing at 10:00 and concluding by 15:00. At just R450 per person—which includes lunch—this event offers exceptional value for professionals looking to stay ahead of the curve.
Booking is simple: secure your seat by visiting https://ads.crasouthafrica.co.za/, where you can complete the registration and make payment online. Those wishing to attend the broader Automechanika exhibition can register separately at https://app.messereg.com/events/visitor/automechanika-2025.
