Setting the retail agenda

The automotive industry has undergone dramatic digital change, whilst the sales process and showroom model has remained the same. COVID-19 has caused huge disruption and accelerated dealerships and OEMs to revisit their sales process. For 2021, we must figure out how to execute this new online and offline customer relationship to meet customers changing expectations.

At this year’s Reuters Events: Automotive Retail 2021 we will address and strategize the future customer experience and buying journey. This meeting is the one place for all your automotive retail news, updates and benchmarks, uniting the most senior group of CEOs, CMOs, CDOs, strategy, CX and retail professionals.

What makes this meeting so unique is that it unites board level executives from global Automakers, USAs largest dealerships and those digital dealership disrupters. This is the only meeting that you will find board levels speakers from Ford, to CarMax and Carvana.
