Digital Dealer - January 2018 - 27

DDW & CATA | Feb. 13-14, 2018 | Chicago

dertaking with an exhibit
space now of approx. one
million sq. ft. First staged
in 1901 (produced by the
CATA since 1935), the
Chicago Auto Show is
now the largest auto show
in North America and has
been held more times
than any other auto exposition on the continent!
Each year, the CATA
evolves the show to stay
in line with where the automotive retailing industry
is headed. The show now
has more modern touches
and creative/interactive
exhibits, but still maintains
its authentic Chicago
Auto Show feel that keeps
consumers returning year
after year (from both in
and outside the Windy
City). Now approaching
the 110th edition of the
Chicago Auto Show, the
association has continued its tradition as the
best-attended consumer
auto show.
The 2018 show will
feature the hottest trends
in vehicle design and the
latest technologies for
consumers. The nearly 1,000 automobiles
on display, will include
mainstream vehicles, a
complete range of domestic and imported passenger cars and trucks, sport
utility vehicles, and experimental / futuristic concept
cars. There will also be
accessories and auto-related exhibits, competition
vehicles, antique and
collector cars. You can
look forward to driving
simulators, VR experiences, indoor test tracks, and
outdoor ride-and-drives!
We hope to see you
there!

Exclusive access to the
Chicago Auto Show will
be included with your
admission to Digital Dealer
Workshops.
THE DIGITAL DEALER WORKSHOPS,
held in conjunction with the Chicago Auto
Show, will feature a lineup of highly successful
dealer personnel, top trainers/consultants in
automotive, leaders in marketing, and savvy
digital professionals at the pulse of the latest
cutting-edge technology and its applications
for automotive. Here is just a small sampling
of the more than 40 sessions:
Scott Meyer, co-founder of 9 Clouds, will
present an advanced Facebook marketing
session on how to target Facebook ads to likely
buyers in your market, measure your Facebook
ads to uncover the ROI for each campaign, and
integrate Facebook so your inventory feed and
CRM work seamlessly.
Toni Anne Fardette, Director of Business
Development for the Atlantic Automotive
Group will share everything you need to set up
a Concierge Center (the new BDC), making the
changes necessary for the "new customer" who
wants instant online information and website
transparency.
Dan Hahn, Director of Training, Fixed
