Following the success of this year's NFDA Driving Digital, we’ve put together a Special Edition to focus on car retailers and dealers as New Entrants to the market.
We’re joined by progressive dealers and speakers to launch:
NFDA Driving Digital: Special Edition
New Entrants: New Opportunities
It will take place at Lords Cricket Ground, St. Johns Wood in London, on the morning of Wednesday 6 December (10.00 am to 1.30 pm), the day of the Ben Ball.
The event is designed to bring together OEMs who are relative newcomers to the market and brand-new entrants to share their experiences and expectations with NFDA dealer network members.
This Special Edition event will suit Company owners, Managing Directors, Chief Executives, Sales and Commercial Directors, and forward-thinking Regional and Franchise Directors and Dealer Principals. Attendance is free to NFDA members.
Be sure to book your space now.
Due to high demand from dealers, unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate suppliers.
As we enter the alternative, often electric vehicle era, new entrants to the market are offering alternatives to the traditional market leaders in the UK and across Europe. While some are adopting a direct sales model, the cars will still need maintenance, and many new entrants fully embrace the franchised dealer model.
- How do you seize the opportunities to work with these exciting new brands?
- How does your marketing adapt to consumers with little knowledge of them?
- How do retailers continue to prepare for continued digital acceleration and the domination of alternative fuelled/electric cars?
For the audience, it will be a moment to understand the challenges and opportunities the market presents and to hear first-hand how the leading businesses are taking advantage of the opportunity’s new entrants present.
Timings:
- 10:00 - Tea and coffee
- 10:30/13:30 – Speakers and panel
These timings mean delegates have a bit more time to get into Central London and will still have downtime ahead of the Ben Ball later in the evening.
