As you are receiving this E-Newsletter, IMSA is currently finished with our Forum and Expo. Attendee or not, you likely know this event was scaled back in comparison to previous years. Regardless, this was a small win for IMSA and more. Holding an in-person event is something that associations and companies globally have been unable to do since this time last year. IMSA has greatly missed planning this event, and we know many members have missed attending. We want to thank our attendees for the patience and grace that we had the pleasure of witnessing all week. While things looked different, but the spirit of the event carried on.

Looking forward, we intend to get back to it in 2022 with our Forum & Expo. The 2022 Forum and Expo will be at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. We look forward to holding this event and seeing many more IMSA Members while following all current safety protocols. Leading up to the Forum & Expo, you can stay informed by visiting imsasafety.org/events for the newest updates.

Stay tuned for the September E-Newsletter, where we will wrap up the conference with highlights, photos, and more!

The open road: wide lanes, fast driving, cruising from point A to point B all while enjoying the AC that your vehicle has to offer. It sounds like a wonderful American driving utopia. Unfortunately, the open road is only wonderful if you’re behind the wheel.
