Andy Entwistle 96 Posted January 9, 2015 Preparations are well under way for Car Dealer Conference 2015. Following the success of 2014, this year will be bigger and better in every way. We are planning on more exhibitors, more break out sessions and more value for all the delegates who attend. See the next issue of the mag when we will be announcing all the details, in the meantime this is your chance to help us shape this years speaker lineup. Last years lineup was stellar, with KIA, Google, CAP and Microsoft all delivering fantastic sessions to name but 4. We are already well under way on arranging this years speakers, however as our readers we would also like to hear from you on who you would like to see at the event, what topics and issues you would like covering or what burning subjects you want to see covered. Of course, we can't guarantee on getting them all along, but we are here to try and serve our readers the best way we can and its important to get your feedback on what you would like to see this year.

williamblackshaw 43 Posted January 10, 2015 Don't worry Andy, my rates are reasonable and my diary is free, i'll give it some thoughts for who i would recommend, however i didn't feel the hot shots spots thing was worth it, just being honest Would be great if the DVLA could attend, share their visions for the the future, Robert Forrester perhaps? I know Mark Squires spoken at an event on aftersales recently, i think it would be good to pick a dealer who has grown well perhaps, as appose a franchise I think an app sector, apps that work well within the industry, also if google were coming, how to use google analytics to help sales, and best practice PPC / seo items Maybe our friends from Autotrader could pop along with their visions Stories from BEN charity i think are important also I best go to bed NIGHT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Entwistle 96 Posted January 10, 2015 thanks William, all feedback is much appreciated. If we didn't get the host feedback then we would;t be able to improve the event for this year ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
williamblackshaw 43 Posted January 10, 2015 Any one who attends should be given the option to purchase a go round the track for say £50 and the money go to BEN theres one!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
