17-19 November 2011
Shoal Bay Resort & Spa
Following the huge success of last year's inaugural event, we are delighted to announce the
launch of the 2011 Australian
Pinnacle Auto Recyclers Conference.
As the 100+ delegates who attended last year's conference will testify, the event is aimed not just
at Pinnacle users, but anyone associated with the auto recycling industry both in Australia and
overseas.
Highlights of this year's event will include yard tours at two highly-respected Newcastle-based
dismantling yards, an International Keynote Speaker, and plenty of opportunity for you to network
and socialise with fellow dismantlers.
This year's conference will, again, be held at the stunning Shoal Bay Resort, just north of Newcastle,
on Friday and Saturday, November 18 and 19, and will be preceded by a Yard Tour on Thursday, November 17
at Hytech Parts Plus and AllFourx4 Dismantling yards in Newcastle, NSW.
Visit the conference website today!
Register before 17th August and qualify for a AU$55.00 off Full Delegate rates.

The URG/Pinnacle Training Conference 2011 :: Roundup
Article by Richard Filley
There was no evidence of a weak economy at this year's 16th annual URG & Pinnacle Training Conference
held April 14-17, 2011 at the Invemess Hotel & Conference Center in Denver, Colorado. Quite the
contrary, as attendance records for the auto recycling industry's premier event were smashed with over
500 automotive recycling industry leaders and decision makers present from across North America,
Europe and Australia to learn from each other and the experts. They gathered to better understand
the cutting edge developments in their rapidly changing industry, meet with vendors to see what's
new in the market, and renew old acquaintances and make new friends.
"Thanks to everyone who came to Denver for the URG & Pinnacle Training Conference this year",
says Michelle Alexander, URG executive director. "Our conference attendance was up this year
by over 20%. We offered 54 training sessions to attendees, many to standing room only crowds."
In her welcoming remarks, Michelle told the audience that "it has never been a better time to be
a recycler."
