Change is no longer optional in the automotive retail space and placing the customer at the heart of the car-buying journey is critical to a brand’s success, attendees will learn at Reuters Events: Automotive Retail USA 2022 in June.

The in-person conference, hosted by Reuters Events, will bring together some of the sector’s leading decision makers to debate industry shifts such as the changing relationship between OEMs and retailers, the coming era of electrification and the race to modernize the customer journey.  

Confirmed speakers at the event, on June 1 and 2, include CarMax President Bill Nash, Nissan’s Chief Marketing Officer, Allyson Witherspoon, and the CEOs of both TrueCar and Cars.com.

“The need to blend both digital and physical and rethink entirely the role of the dealership has never been more apparent, and essential,” said Paul Bergamini, senior conference director for Reuters Events Automotive and Mobility team.

“This event is unique in the sense that we are bringing together a blend of senior leaders and visionaries from the big dealerships, the household name OEMs and also the disruptors and new entries causing a stir,” said Bergamini.

Auto Retail USA 2022 is expected to attract more than 300 attendees and will feature more than 20 senior speakers debating a host of industry-driven agenda topics, grouped under four pillars:

• The Future of Automotive Retail
• The Dynamic Relationship Between OEMs and Retailers
• Stay Competitive and Meet the Expectations of the Modern Consumer
• The Coming Era of Electrification
