Used Car Week is back at the Westin Kierland in Scottsdale, Ariz., for the second year in a row, but we’re bringing a few new ingredients to add to the Southwestern mix in 2024.

Here’s a sampling of new flavors waiting for you in Arizona during UCW 2024 that begins on Nov. 18:

Say goodbye to blocks

No more Block 1 and Block 2. This year, we’re excited to unveil a new and improved schedule, offering a unified, all-inclusive experience. And all-inclusive registration rate. Say goodbye to split blocks! Join us from Monday through Thursday as we bring together every facet of the used-car industry, covering remarketing, dealer-consignor relations, auto finance, repossessions, venture investments and much more.

Say hello to ‘Speed Sessions’

Experience a fresh way to learn at this year’s Used Car Week with Speed Sessions: quick but meaningful conversations with top industry experts on the Podcast Stage, presented by SYCN Auto Logistics. Hosted by Cherokee Media Group editors Andrew Friedlander, Joe Overby, and Nick Zulovich in the heart of the conference floor at the Westin Kierland, these sessions offer the perfect opportunity to gain valuable insights and elevate your business — all in a casual, engaging setting. The sessions will last approximately 20 minutes each and be scattered throughout the week. Go to https://usedcarweek.biz/speed-sessions/ to see the full schedule.

That same stage will also include our traditional Podcast Stage agenda, where podcasters and other media from throughout the industry will record interviews and episodes of their respective shows.

A ‘social’ guide

You don’t have to be a #LinkedInfluencer or social media pro to share your experience at Used Car Week. Let our new Social Media Toolkit do the work for you. We invite attendees, exhibitors and sponsors to join us in building excitement for Used Car Week 2024 through this toolkit, where you will find tips, sample captions, and ready-to-use graphics to help spread the word.

Standing in the ‘Hall of Fame’

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Used Car Week, we have created the UCW Hall of Fame to recognize and honor executives who have played an important role in the development, growth and success of Used Car Week over time. On Thursday of this year’s event, we will induct the inaugural class of inductees into the hall.

UCW Hall of Fame inductees are executives who have been instrumental in the growth, development and success of Used Car Week over many years. These executives are influential and successful industry leaders within their respective businesses, the used car industry and the larger automotive industry.

The UCW Hall of Fame induction ceremonies will be held during the closing luncheon on Nov. 21 as part Used Car Week’s 25th anniversary celebration.

Closing with ceremony

To give folks the chance to catch late afternoon and evening flights home on Thursday, Used Car Week will conclude with a “Closing Ceremonies” from 1:30-2 pm on Nov. 21.

This session, featuring Used Car Week chair Bill Zadeits and Automotive Ventures general partner Steve Greenfield (who leads the NAVIcon portion of the event), will include award announcements, prize giveaways and much more.
