ACPN conference – knowledge exchange

Per the guidance of local government authorities, the CDC and World Health Organization , the 2020 ACPN Knowledge Exchange Conference has been cancelled due to growing risk and concern around the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Based on our assessment of the rapidly changing environment and our concern for the safety and well-being of our members and our staff we have determined that it is inadvisable to conduct the event.

All collected fees will be fully refunded and Auto Care Association will work with the Hyatt Regency Seattle to cancel all hotel reservations booked through the ACPN conference housing link.

Though it’s true that our May 2020 event will no longer take place in the way that we intended, please keep the dates of May 4-6 in your calendar as we explore bringing you a virtual ACPN experience.

For questions, please contact our director, meetings and events, Leah Jones at leah.jones@autocare.org . 

Now a Virtual Conference for 2020!

The annual ACPN Knowledge Exchange conference is the largest gathering of content professionals and their vendors and solution partners. 

Attended by most major manufacturers, distributors and parts experts in the automotive content space, the ACPN conference provides a focused and unique opportunity to learn, share best practices, network with peers, and interact with service providers in the content management space. At the ACPN Knowledge Exchange, content managers can learn how to develop more accurate catalogs, gain insights on more efficient production processes and become aware of new technology and techniques, which will ultimately help them and their companies:

  • Sell more products
  • Reduce costs
  • Increase efficiencies
