“It opened my eyes to the rapidly changing marketplace and how to best reach those customers. I took away too many things to list that are in place in our dealership right now.”

“Who should attend? Any and all managers, decision makers, and personnel that are involved in improving the dealership's business should attend. There is still so much skepticism and lack of involvement from the decision-makers about the Internet and how it can be used more effectively to improve opportunities for each department and reduce expenses. This event is a real eye-opener! Attendance by the department heads, dealer principals, and decision makers would help them “get it” and allow for business growth in all departments.”

“I think it is extremely important for GMs and dealer principals to attend.  Our industry is changing so fast that if these people don't at least have some idea what is driving people to their showrooms, ISMs will get little help and support that they will need to stay one step ahead of the competition.”
Scott Fraley

“Anyone who does not see a need for the Internet in their dealership should attend to open their eyes to what is needed.  Also anyone who does see the need for the Internet in their dealership but doesn't know where to begin! And anyone who thinks they have a good web site and they are all set with the whole Internet thing, go and see what you are missing out on!”

“Any manager who is looking to improve his or her game can gain an advantage by attending the Digital Dealer conference. Only the best in the business attend this conference. If you are just looking to get through the next year, please don't come. Leave the best to us. The conference has outstanding opportunities to network with managers from every department who are on top of their game and looking to learn more.”

The 8th Digital Dealer Conference & Exposition will be held at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, April 20th-22nd, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. The last conference in Nashville in October drew over 540 dealership attendees and featured 46 exhibitors in over 60 booths spaces. Combined, the last two Digital Dealer Conferences drew just under 1,000 registered dealers, GMs, Internet Sales Managers, e-Commerce Directors and BDC/CRM Managers, and every one of them was there to learn more about Internet and technology-related issues, both from speakers and from exhibitors.

We will have over 60 exhibitors and are once again expecting 500-600 dealership attendees in Orlando this spring. We’ve done seven of these now and have found the perfect balance of fulfilling both attendees’ goals regarding learning from the best of the best, networking with their peers, and spending time with exhibitors.

The speaking program will include practitioners who are having great success in their markets. We are bringing in speakers from outside the industry to help forward–thinking dealerships stay ahead of the curve. The top trainers and consultants will be sharing their knowledge, experience and expertise. Once again, a half-day “newbie” class will be held before the program even starts so anyone new to this side of the business (including dealers themselves) can get up to speed quickly and get the most out of the two days of powerful sessions presented. And the super-successful Peer Networking Roundtables are going to take place immediately before the conference begins and immediately after it ends, giving you time to solve your problems with the help of your peers in a slightly more formalized setting.

There is no way you can better utilize your time these three days in April than to attend the 8th Digital Dealer Conference & Exposition. Learn how to have the dealership of tomorrow...TODAY!
