Are you keeping up with the industry you’re teaching?

With how quickly things are evolving — especially with EV and hybrid systems — many instructors are looking for ways to stay current without completely overhauling their program.

That’s exactly what the Automotive Educator Conference is built for:

🔧 Hands-on training
🤝 Real conversations with other instructors
📚 Practical ideas you can bring back immediately

📍 Sacramento, CA | June 15–18

If staying current is a priority this year, this is one of the best ways to do it.
