The automotive retail industry is built on transparency, education, and community. These three pillars create a world where dealers can compete with one another while learning valuable lessons on how to improve without racing to the bottom. At the end of the day, it’s essential that we as a community work together to best serve our customers. And that’s exactly what ACV’s TEC Talks bring to the table. 

Launching at NADA 2023, these TEC Talks will illuminate even the darkest corners of the used automotive retail industry by bringing together dealers and partners to discuss trending topics and tackle important issues. Each talk will be hosted by ACV and include speakers from dealerships all over the country.

Taking place at booth #3141 on the show floor, these hard-hitting workshops will provide tangible answers to difficult questions. There are many topics on the agenda. Some of the important discussions surrounding automotive and the success of your dealership include:

• Inventory Independence
• Facts vs. Fiction: Making the Right Inventory Decisions
• Know the Right Inventory and the Right Amount of Inventory
• Better Buying = Better Profitability
• Back to Normal, Now What?
