Prior to NRC, Used Car Week — which is being held from Nov. 12-16 at The Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz. — includes two other conferences.

Starting with the CPO Dealer Forum presented by AutoTrader.com, Used Car Week gets underway with an event designed specifically for dealers.

This intensely educational two-day gathering — held Nov. 12–13 — will shine the spotlight on the certified pre-owned industry. The nation’s top dealers will share their on-the-lot experiences with selling, pricing, sourcing and marketing their CPO vehicles.

Attendees will have opportunities to ask questions, share best practices and start conversations with dealers from across the country, leaving the event with fresh new actionable ideas for maximizing profits in their certified pre-owned sales.

Next will be the second-ever Re3 Conference presented by PAR North America and Digital Recognition Network. The event touches on several elements of the recovery, repossession and remarketing fields and is scheduled for Nov. 14.

Attendees can obtain an early bird discount to all of these events through Oct. 15.
