Top events
SEMA/APPEX
This year, Tekmetric had a significant presence at SEMA and APPEX. Our primary focus was on mobilizing and engaging with our customer base, driving demand for Tekmetric solutions, and increasing brand awareness.
At SEMA, the largest automotive trade show in the USA, which attracts about 140,000 attendees, we hosted the 5th Quarter and Yeti Giveaway Happy Hour event in our booth on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This event featured drinks, snacks, and a raffle for a Yeti Prize Package, creating a relaxed and engaging networking atmosphere during the last hour of the show.
Vision
VISION Hi-Tech Training & Expo, a premier automotive service event for over 30 years, annually drew over 3,500 attendees. Focused on employee training, it offered hands-on lessons for technicians, service advisor training, and management sessions. The 2024 conference, held from February 19th to March 3rd at the Overland Park Convention Center, covered technical practices, standard operating procedures, KPIs, and service advisor sales approaches.
Tekmetric had a booth at this event, providing valuable networking and learning opportunities. The event also served as a marketing platform for top automotive companies to host sessions, sponsor, and exhibit, connecting with dedicated professionals and contributing to industry excellence. Additionally, we co-hosted a happy hour with Steer on March 1st, which allowed us to interact with more attendees in a relaxed and engaging setting.
Shop Hackers
The Tekmetric team attended Shop Hackers in early August as a Platinum Sponsor. Shop Hackers was one of Tekmetric’s key strategic events of the year, with a large portion of attendees being Tekmetric customers. Our focus as a revenue team was to ensure we leveraged the event and overall investment to:
- Mobilize and engage our customer base.
- Drive demand and adoption of Tekmetric solutions.
- Generate brand awareness and visibility for Tekmetric.
At this event, we had the opportunity to speak directly with attendees and presented Tekmetric Unveiled: Latest Features and Upcoming Innovations, showcasing our newest developments and exciting future plans. We also launched the MVP Customer Advocacy Program, which allows us to recognize and engage our most valued customers. To further enhance the experience, we invited four of our customer shops to attend the event and share their experiences with Tekmetric.

2024 was a big year for Tekmetric and the shops we support. As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to join forces with Shopgenie and provide even more ways to streamline your shop operations.
