and lawmakers
intersect.
Two days that put independent auto dealers in the room with the people writing the rules — at the Willard, two blocks from the White House.
Represent yourself before lawmakers and regulators in Washington, D.C. Learn what happens on the Hill, and how it impacts your business — speaking directly with members of Congress about the legislative and regulatory issues facing our industry.
Represent yourself before the people making the decisions.
Decisions made in Washington — on right to repair, on consumer financial regulation, on commerce policy — reach every used vehicle dealership in the country. Most dealers never get to weigh in. The Policy Conference exists so they can.
Over two days, you learn what's happening on the Hill, you hear from industry experts and federal regulators, and you walk into your senators' and representatives' offices with a delegation, a brief, and a clear ask. This is how dealers and lawmakers actually intersect.
Three issues. One coordinated push.
Every meeting on the Hill leads with the same talking points — a unified position from the independent dealer community, walked door-to-door across House and Senate offices.
FCRA reform.
Harmonizing civil liability under the Fair Credit Reporting Act to bring it in line with other consumer financial protection laws.
Converter theft.
Federal traceability rules and stricter recordkeeping at recyclers to shut down the illicit catalytic converter resale market and protect dealer inventory.
CFPB reform.
Bringing commonsense reforms that foster clarity and fairness to the CFPB's market conduct oversight.
Two days. Built for impact, not just attendance.
Day one prepares you with policy briefings, committee meetings, and the PAC dinner. Day two takes you to Capitol Hill for meetings and the closing reception.
