What’s the Buzz About the MIS Council Fall Conference? “The MIS Council Fall Conference is a great opportunity to interact with colleagues (Suppliers) that are focused on the Automotive Aftermarket Supply Chain.

The opportunity to hear directly from major customers (Customer Spotlight) provides insight into their priorities and direction for the future.” Jim Schwinn
“I have been a regular, non-IT attendee at the MIS Council Fall Conference. As the CFO of my employer, internal controls are important to me, and IT technology always changes my approach to internal control recommendations. The knowledge gained over the past 25 years at MIS Council Conferences has been very helpful in staying abreast of these changes.” CFO of an automotive and heavy duty aftermarket lighting supplier and AASA member company
