TORONTO -

The Auto Remarketing Canada conference presented by CarProof has added a pair of new corporate partners, and organizers have also announced additional speakers for the event, which is being held April 16–18 at The Fairmont Royal York in Toronto.

Moreover, the official site for the conference has been launched and can be seen at http://arcanada.autoremarketing.com.

Signing on as corporate partners for the conference are Manheim Canada and VelociT/Trader.ca.

These companies join CarProof — which is the lead corporate partner — along with ADESA/OPENLANE, Canadian Black Book and North Toronto Auction.

Conference chair Bill Zadeits also noted that joining the lineup of speakers are Canadian auto analyst Dennis DesRosiers and Honda Canada’s Todd Fowler, as well as Jeff Polo, who is the sales manager of Destination Toyota of Burnaby, British Columbia; and Doug Collis of Ford Remarketing.

Sharing more about what these speakers will offer, Zadeits said that DesRosiers will participate on an economic panel in one session and then present a data-driven session on Canada’s used-car market.

The economic panel will also include TD Bank Group economist Dina Cover and Canadian Automobile Dealers Association chief economist Michael Hatch.

Fowler and Polo are slated for a certified pre-owned session. They will be joined by Doug McDougall, pre-owned sales manager at Town+Country BMW; and Luc Grenier, of Toyota Certified Canada.
