James Baggott, managing director of Blackball Media, the publishers of Car Dealer, said: ‘Everyone moans it’s too hard to find the time to meet new suppliers. That they’re too busy doing the daily grind to learn new things.
‘Well, not if you put June 9 in your diaries, you’re not! In one day we’ve packed in so much that it is going to be impossible to do everything – and that’s intentional.
‘We want to give you the choice to listen to the speakers who are most interesting to you. And we’ve worked incredibly hard to make sure those companies holding workshops have interesting things to say.
‘The business meeting part of the event takes place in the Expo hall where we’ll have around 100 motor trade suppliers showcasing their offerings.
‘And there will be no direct selling in these workshops, let me guarantee you that. This event is about education and the workshops are designed to give you thought-provoking nuggets to take back to your businesses and help improve.’
