    Mobile Repair Day Agenda

    The Electronics Reuse Conference, formerly the International Computer Refurbisher Summit, is North America’s sole computer and electronics refurbishment conference. The conference provides an opportunity for people around the world working in the areas of computer refurbishment and repair, assets management, electronics recycling, and digital inclusion to come together to network, build business relationships, discuss best practices, and learn new techniques for refurbishing and recycling electronics efficiently and cost-effectively.

    The annual Electronics Reuse Conference is the ultimate recognition of excellence in repair. This event brings together hundreds of fixers, tinkerers, and repair business owners to celebrate the accomplishments of those working in the repair industry, and it’s an incredible opportunity for techs to showcase their talents and skills on a national level. You will have the opportunity to meet other repair shops and industry leaders, gain valuable industry experience, learn about new technologies and advancements in the field, and develop your repair abilities. Participants in the repair off will test their skills as they work against the clock and other competitors to prove their expertise in repair – such as screen, front camera assemblies, and more! Industry partners run these events guided by the competencies that are demanded by the industry. Ready to see what the future workforce of repair is capable of?
