I need your help. I attend one conference a year, and this year it has gotten CRAZY. I normally attend DD, I have learned a lot, but last year in Vegas it seemed like a big sales pitch. I go to learn, I don't waste time at these events, I come with a game plan and an agenda of items I need to learn to improve my dealership. I HATE the pitch. What do you think is the best conference to attend if you want to learn, network, and NOT get a sales pitch. Would AutoCon be a good choice?, or what about DSES? Is DD still the best bet? What are your thoughts and what will you be attending this year?
