I was there! But I missed Jerry's one. Does anyone have the video files, I know they recorded all of the meetings? I just never got the link. AutoCon was great though.

Hey Refresh! I'm bumping this thread just in time for DD and IS20G next week!
WOW! A lot has changed since this forum post 27 months ago. I really enjoyed skimming through the comments. A lot HASN'T changed too...
Will you be attending a conference this season? Where are you going and why?

I'll peek from under the rock and look forward to some REFRESHingly forward thinking, learning and good friends at DSES in October.
I hate seeing the divisions and disconnects in the industry. There are so few people that want to really push forward and excel that dividing into the tiny cliques seems to have taken us as a whole backwards.
I hope to see you all there!

I will be attending Digital Dealer, JD Power Marketing Roundtable, Driving Sales Conference and NADA for sure.

No problem! Will anyone from Refresh be attending the IS20G in Boston next week? I am honored to be speaking and really excited about my topic. I'd love to meet anyone from the forum in real life too if there is opportunity. I can't confirm this, but I heard the first drink is on Yago.

I'm headed out to IS20G next week - getting pretty excited. I've been to a few Digital Dealers, NADA, Autocon and some more local conferences / classes, but never IS20G.
✨ AI Highlights
Automotive industry professionals debate the proliferation of fall 2012 conferences (Digital Dealer, DrivingSales, AutoCon, JD Power, and others), with vendors complaining about escalating costs for exhibiting and speaking at multiple events while questioning whether the industry can sustain so many competing conferences. The discussion reveals concerns that increased choice is diluting content quality and dealer attendance rather than growing the market, with some participants suggesting a DealerRefresh conference could offer a more authentic alternative focused on genuine discussion rather than vendor self-promotion. The key insight is that conference fragmentation may ultimately harm both vendors and dealers: vendors face unsustainable expenses trying to exhibit everywhere, while dealers struggle to choose which events offer genuine value versus marketing-driven content.
