At the upcoming Auto Intel Summit in April, Cherokee Media Group is launching the Automotive Intelligence Awards, which expands the program previously known as the Emerging 8.

This expanded program will feature analysts, researchers, and leaders who are advancing business intelligence for the automotive industry as well as emerging companies and entrepreneurs charging forward to make their mark on the used-car industry

There are two components to the awards program:

  • Automotive Intelligence Awards: Industry Analysts. This piece will honor a select group of outstanding auto industry analysts for their contribution to the knowledge base of the used-car retail, finance and remarketing industry.
  • Automotive Intelligence Awards: Emerging Companies. For the seventh year, Cherokee Media Group will honor companies that improve a specific aspect of the automotive industry through technology. Industry leaders believe these firms are on the cusp of automotive innovation and tech development. They’re all “on to something” that could turn the dial on their respective aspects of automotive.

These top Industry Analysts and Emerging Companies will be recognized in the April edition of the Auto Fin Journal publication and at the Auto Intel Summit, which is April 8-10 at the Embassy Suites in Cary, N.C. In addition to respective luncheons at AIS recognizing these honorees, there will be panel discussions featuring representatives from the Automotive Intelligence Award recipients.

They will also be spotlighted in Cherokee Media Group’s digital properties. Stay tuned for more details.
