For multiple hours the conversation never hit a lull as independent auto dealers traded tips on different aspects of their dealership during roundtables at last year\u2019s NIADA BHPH Dealer Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI loved the roundtables,\u201d said Amy Koontz of Guaranteed Auto in Van Wert, Ohio. \u201cThe forum did a great job aligning dealers with other similar dealers. It was valuable to have interaction and not just the classroom style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dealer-led roundtables will once again be the centerpiece of the education at the BHPH Dealer Forum Nov. 10-12 at the New Orleans, La.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration is open for the dealer-focused event at the New Orleans Marriott. Early-bird registration is open through Oct. 4 and is $200 off the standard member rate<\/a>. Group discounts are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roundtables are moderated by some of the industry\u2019s top dealers. Eddie Hale of Neighborhood Autos in Decatur, Texas, led one of the roundtables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the best education. It\u2019s where the greatest knowledge is shared,\u201d Hale said. \u201cYou get unbiased and unfiltered opinions from the boots on the ground on those dealer-led roundtables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs dealers, there\u2019s so many things we have to address. [The roundtables] allow the best practices to come out. It\u2019s truly the best education you can get.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as a moderator, Hale said he was picking up items to consider when he returned to his dealership. He also pointed out the roundtables gave dealers a list of contacts to reach out to in the future about issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt started a network that they can reach out to and contact at any time,\u201d Hale said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the roundtables, the Dealer Forum will include education breakout sessions and dealer panels on accessing capital, hiring talent, adopting emerging technology, best 20 Group tips, marketing, sales, inventory management and preventing accounting fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
