Time is running out to bag discounted tickets to Car Dealer Live ’26 with just days left to run on the Early Bird offer.
Tickets to our big event – sponsored by Auto Trader – being held on March 19 at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, are currently available with discounts for both dealers and suppliers.
The early bird discount takes £30 off each ticket and is only available until the end of the year.
Tickets can be booked via the event website with 10% of the price donated to the automotive industry charity BEN.
Sessions at Car Dealer Live ’26 – hosted by James Baggott, James Batchelor and Rebecca Chaplin – will showcase a variety of experts from across the industry.
The day has been redesigned to pack even more into it with extra sessions added to inspire attendees.
Headline interviews with Peugeot MD Nicole Dobson and the boss of used car dealership Infinity Motors, Sohib Ghafouri have been lined up.
Our franchised car dealer panel will feature Hedin CEO Richard Ennis, Snows Group COO Alex Domone and Luscombe Motors MD Sam Luscombe.
On the independent car dealer panel will be IMDA chairman and used car dealer Umesh Samani, Steven Douglas, the founder of dealership Really Easy Car Credit, and George Manning, director of car supermarket Hilton Garage.
Research sessions with exclusive insights for attendees will also be hosted by headline sponsors Auto Trader, as well as Google, Motorway, Impel, Keyloop and Cox Automotive.
A Chinese challenger panel will also feature executives from BYD, Geely, Omoda & Jaecoo and Chery as we discuss their entrance to the UK market and their plans for the future.
A social media masterclass will also take place showcasing how some dealers have made the most out of selling their cars online and building their brands.
James McConville, the boss of used car dealer Solo Car Sales, will explain how he has built his brand using social media platforms and explain how other dealers can do it too.
More great guests will be announced for all our panels in the coming weeks.
