Back to School Edition — September 2026.

September 2026 · Free Virtual Event

Ted Ings · Founder, Fixed Ops Roundtable

Back to School Week 2026 poster: over 225 expert speakers, 80+ retail panel discussions, five big days, free to attend

The Back to School Edition of the Fixed Ops Roundtable® returns this September.

Expect the same format that works: panels built around operators actually running service, parts, and body shop departments — not theory. The agenda and speaker lineup land in newsletter inboxes first, a couple weeks before the event goes public.

Seats are free, like everything we do. Reserve and forward the invite to your team.
