Registration opens for BHPH Dealer Forum

September 5, 2023

Registration is now open for the premier event for BHPH dealers, the Dealer Forum in Indianapolis in November.

The Dealer Forum Nov. 13-15 at the JW Marriot in Indianapolis features hands-on education centered around dealers learning from other dealers.

Early-bird registration for NIADA dealer members ($495) runs through Friday, Oct. 13. The rate after Oct. 13 for NIADA dealers is $595. Group discounts are available at registration.

Take advantage of the opportunity to gain knowledge from seasoned BHPH dealers, who will moderate the popular Dealer Driven Roundtables. Each dealer in attendance will be assigned a specific group matched to their dealership’s operation. The moderator will lead the group through discussions on lead generation, sales and inventory; service center and reconditioning; collections; and access to capital; among other topics.

“We’re excited about the new format of the Dealer Forum. We had a similar education program in Texas, with the dealer roundtables. It was always the most popular session because it was very interactive, dealers get to hear a number of new ideas and dealers get the most out of it,” said NIADA CEO Jeff Martin.

In addition to the roundtables, the hands-on breakout sessions will feature NIADA 20 Group moderators and industry leaders guiding attendees through best practices in the service department, collection and sales calls and underwriting.

The general session will also give dealers a chance to gain insight from some of the industry’s biggest and top dealers, as they hold a panel discussion on the state of the used vehicle market. Dealers will also receive an industry benchmark update to take with them through the sessions.
