AS SEEN AT

Why Industry Leaders Are Coming to the Table?

To understand how AI-driven automation is redefining productivity across the dealership without adding organizational complexity.

Every dealer has sat through an AI pitch by now. Fewer have seen it actually move time-to-listing, close rate, or service retention. This roundtable brings together a small group of dealer principals and operators to talk through what's genuinely working and what isn't - when AI meets the day-to-day reality of running a rooftop.

Expect direct conversation over dinner, not a sales presentation. Real numbers, real friction points, and real examples from stores already running AI in production.

The New Economics of Time-to-Listing

How dealers are cutting time-to-listing with AI-powered imaging and merchandising, and what that's worth in holding cost per day.

Closing the Response Gap

Where conversational AI is closing the gap on missed calls, after-hours leads, and BDC follow-up — without adding headcount.

Turning Customer Retention into Recurring Revenue

How AI-driven service scheduling and recall/retention outreach is turning fixed ops into a measurable revenue channel, not just a cost center.

How the Evening Runs
