Technical presentations will range from simple solutions and repairs owners can perform on cars driven
every day to repairs and modifications for those who have the skills and tools needed for more complex tasks.
Attendees will also find sessions geared toward owners of vintage Mercedes-Benz cars as well as sessions on
topics of interest to owners thinking of participating in Starfest and Tri-O-Rama and other Mercedes-Benz
Club of America national events.
Because spouses and other guests may not be interested in technical sessions, we have arranged for off-site
events. These events are listed separately on the registration form. They include an excursion to the Washington
Design Center and Textile Museum, and a tour of the Spy Museum guided by Gary Powers, son of Francis Gary Powers,
the U2 Pilot shot down over Russia.
