SARASOTA, Fla. — The 15th Annual Leedom Group National Buy-Here, Pay-Here Convention, dedicated to the BHPH and non-prime marketplace, will be held Oct. 12-14 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

"The Leedom Group has worked with hundreds of dealers across the country that have recognized the changes (in the auto industry) and have developed business plans to succeed," said Chris Leedom, founder of the Independent Dealer Twenty Group program and host of the annual Leedom Conference.

"Together we have developed strategies for success in this new automotive world, and we will share this paradigm change with attendees at our 15th annual event," he added.

The Leedom Convention will focus on topics such as the Changing Face of the BHPH Customer, The New Dealer-Lender Partnership, E-mail and Social Networking Advertising, Collections and Electronic payments: More Important Now than Ever, Right-sizing Your Operation, and much more.

"We have put together some of the best minds in the industry to examine and develop strategies for this new automotive world, and we will continue to listen up and look around the bend in preparation for what will be the single most important automotive retail event of the year," Leedom said.

"Plus we are unique in that we also operate five dealerships, so we are not accountants or meeting planners, we operate dealerships every day and face the same challenges as our attendees. No other conference sponsor can say that. This will be the event of the year, guaranteed."
