That’s the location for the 2015 Car Dealer Conference & Automotive Expo, in association with GForces, and it’s set to be the biggest event of its kind in the UK.

We know how much the automotive industry in the UK is crying out for an event of this type and we want to work with dealers, manufacturers and suppliers to make this an annual event that works for everyone.

WORKSHOP SESSIONS – EDUCATING DEALERS

We will be holding 12 Workshop Sessions on the day, which are all designed to educate and inform dealers on the latest trends. These will be held in the morning and then repeated in the afternoon.

All Workshop Sessions are free to attend and can be booked in advance, or you can simply turn up on the day and choose which you’d like to visit.


However, we expect these to be very popular and entry will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Speakers have been selected from a host of companies who are experts in their respective fields and, don’t fear, there will be categorically no selling in these sessions – they have all been designed to educate you. Workshop Sessions planned, which are subject to change, currently include:

AUTOMOTIVE EXPO – 100 STANDS OR MORE!

Screen Shot 2015-02-05 at 19.31.42Car Dealer Magazine is a passionate believer that the UK automotive industry is crying out for an event of this type and we want to work with the industry to create a networking and educational event that works for the whole automotive industry.

That’s why we will be working hard with suppliers from across the industry to help them showcase their products and services to dealers at this event.

With a footprint that is three times the size of last year’s Conference, for dealers the Expo will be the perfect place to see what around 100 suppliers to the motor trade have to offer.

We know how tough it can be to arrange time in your diary to see suppliers, which is why the Expo – where they are all in one place – is the perfect time to do business.

If you’d like to talk about these options in more detail please do not hesitate to call a member of the Car Dealer team on (023) 9252 2434 or email us here.
