In addition to his speaking role, Van Over will lead the onsite, ACE-sponsored review session and exam for Automotive Compliance Specialist certification, which will be offered free of charge to Industry Summit attendees for the second consecutive year.
“I am honored to be part of the upcoming Compliance Summit,” Van Over said. “This robust and topical event covers a number of compliance-related topics while creating networking opportunities to share ideas and best practices. Included is a must-do ACE certification review and testing session.”
