01 — About the Summit

Not a conference. An operating system for dealer groups.

Dealer Group Summit is where owners of 2 rooftops and CEOs of 200 rooftops share the same table. No fluff, no 45-minute vendor pitches. Only operators, investors, and marketers who grew service absorption over 95%, cut lead response to under 2 minutes, and turned used-car turn under 28 days.

  • ✔Built for groups: centralization, BDC at scale, shared inventory, group-wide CRM & data lake tactics.
  • ✔Real numbers on stage: every keynote shows P&L, ad spend, cost per car, tech stack and SOPs.
  • ✔Deal flow room: private M&A lounge with 300+ buy-sell opportunities, lenders and valuation clinics.
  • ✔Hands-on labs: AI phone agents, service video walkarounds, Google & Meta audits live on your store.
