More than just a conference, The 2025 URG & Team PRP Conference is a powerful demonstration of collaboration and innovation in the sector.
Now in its second year in Orlando, Florida, USA as a joint event between URG and Team PRP, the theme "Strength in Synergy" highlights the ability of industry professionals to unite, share expertise, and leverage collective knowledge for greater success say the event organisers.
The 2024 conference was described as a milestone event by the convenors, attracting over 1,000 attendees, reportedly the largest in URG’s history. Building on that momentum, organiisers say the 2025 conference promises even greater opportunities for learning, networking, and industry advancement.
“This is not just an event for automotive recyclers from the United States, it is the largest global gathering of automotive recyclers and a must-attend for industry leaders across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and beyond,” a conference spokesperson said.
“Everyone at the forefront of the industry will be in attendance, making this an unparalleled opportunity to gain insights, connect with global peers, and engage with the most influential voices in the sector.”
The lineup of speakers includes industry pioneers such as Ron Sturgeon and Bill Tolpa, leading subject matter expert in Hybrid and EV technology Dirk Fuchs, as well as highly regarded names like Rob Rainwater and Mike Kunkel from Profit Team Consulting. Additionally, major industry vendors including eBay Motors and EZ Suite will be present, showcasing the latest advancements in the industry.
Australian auto recycler Mitch Connelly from Sandgate Wreckers in Brisbane attended the 2024 URG Conference and shared his experience.
"We took away more than we could have ever imagined from our first URG Conference in 2024. The insights gained have directly improved our business, and we’re seeing the results. We will 100 per cent be back in 2025. This event is a game-changer for any recycler wanting to stay ahead of the curve,” he said.
Under the leadership of URG’s Kristi Werner and Team PRP’s Jarett Hann, this conference will showcase how industry collaboration leads to innovation and business growth. Strength, in this context, represents resilience, adaptability, and the ability to embrace change. Events like this provide a platform for recyclers to access cutting-edge technology, business strategies, and industry insights to prepare for the future.
The 2025 conference will feature a diverse lineup of speakers and sessions designed to provide actionable strategies that empower attendees to drive meaningful change within their organisations. From addressing industry challenges to exploring innovative solutions, the conference will equip participants with the tools needed to elevate their businesses.
Whether operating in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, or anywhere else in the world, this is the one event that cannot be missed, say the event organisers.
“The knowledge, networking, and opportunities available at this conference are second to none. It is where the industry's top minds gather, making it the best opportunity to future-proof businesses with insights from global industry leaders,” the spokesperson concluded.
