Diesel Connect 2025 – Day 1 Is In The Books!

Diesel Connect 2025 – Day 1 Is In The Books!

The sun has set on Day One of Diesel Connect 2025!

Keni Thomas kicked us off at 1 PM with a moving presentation about leadership and how it’s never just about ourselves, but the people around us. You could say leadership in all its aspects was part of the theme, as we had sessions related to expanding a shop, creating a budget, and evolving from a technician to a business owner.

And hey, it wouldn’t be a Fullbay conference without some focus on Fullbay, right? Customers learned more about the Fullbay/Whip Around integration and how they can include DVIRs into their workflows, as well as how to clean up their account.

It wasn’t all learning and seminars, though. At the end of Day One we all spilled onto the lawn of the resort to listen to a guitar duo, play cornhole, and engage in a very competitive foosball tournament. Oh, yeah, dinner was freakin’ amazing, too, with BBQ chicken, burgers, and a mashed potato bar that will live on in our taste buds.

We also went through 18 gallons of coffee.

We are not making that up.

Anyway, we’re about to kick off Day Two, so that means this writer needs to finish her gallon of coffee and head into the grand ballroom to see what’s in store for the diesel crew.

You can expect the regular DC recaps at some point in the future when we all have a minute to breathe. Until then, catch you on the flip side!
