Stay tuned for speaker and agenda updates. We will announce our initial list of speakers Monday July 17, 2023. 

We promise, you won’t be bored with powerpoint after powerpoint presentation. Instead, AUTOVATE features an informal and conversational Q&A format with dealer principals, executives from investment firms and investment banks, manufacturing executives, and startup entrepreneurs armed with new ideas and solutions for automotive retail.

  • Our format is 15-to-20-minute TED Talk styled Q&A sessions with the audience participating via text with the moderator, with two or three featured presentations. NOTE: No exhibitors or sales and marketing pitches. Just conversations.
