ATLANTA -

Cox Automotive has three events remaining in its 2016 Interactive Dealer Summit and Elevate program series.

Each event is designed to help dealers attain profitability and advance their wholesale and retail operations in the face of declining margins and growing consumer expectations for the buying experience.

The lineup includes:
— The Philadelphia Interactive Dealer Summit in King of Prussia, Pa., on Nov. 16.
— The City of Industry Elevate Dealer Summit in City of Industry, Calif., on Dec. 6.
— The Universal City Elevate Dealer Summit in Universal City, Calif., on Dec. 8.

"We absorbed a lot of information and the topics were spot on," said Tim Watson, IT and digital marketing at Portland Volvo and Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. "I was able to come back to the dealership and put the best practices I'd learned into place right away, and we're already starting to see results. If dealers have the opportunity to attend an event this year, I can't recommend it highly enough."

Specific topics arranged to be discussed at the three events include improving staff training to elevate dealership performance; reducing days to sell and increasing inventory turns; and increasing consumer demand by improving the buying experience, both online and offline.

The events are open to the general dealer public and will consist of breakout sessions, keynote speakers and networking opportunities.

Dealers can also register to view the Nov. 16 summit live via simulcast.
