If you weren’t among the crowds at the most-attended Used Car Week in history, you missed out.

Skipping Used Car Week may not get you punked on Jimmy Kimmel Live’s “Finger of Shame,” but it could lead to some serious #FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).

But don’t worry, there’s a remedy for that: make sure you make it this year!

Aside from the fact that enjoying Arizona’s fall weather at The Phoenician resort is reason enough to go, check out the keynote speakers we already have lined up:

• CPO Forum: Paul Potratz, chief operating officer, Potratz Advertising
• CPO Forum: Joe Derkos, director of consulting and analytics, J.D. Power
   
• National Remarketing Conference: Jonathan Banks & Larry Dixon of NADA Used Car Guide
   
• SubPrime Forum: Melinda Zabritski, director of automotive credit, Experian Automotive
• SubPrime Forum/NRC: Tony Hughes, managing director of credit analytics, Moody's Analytics
• SubPrime Forum/Re3: Chris Metaxas, CEO, DRN

And that is just the beginning.

The Used Car Week team is hard at work pulling together a compelling lineup of speakers, panel discussions and workshops that run the gamut impacting the used-car, remarketing and auto finance industries.

We don’t to give away any spoilers, but here are a few of the topics you can look forward to being covered this year:

• Certified pre-owned market’s pace toward another year of record sales
• How to improve online buying and selling (wholesale and retail)
• CPO best practices
• CPO industry health report
• Retail market outlook
• Staffing/training your dealership’s used-car departments
• Technology and other developments in the repossession and recovery world
• Originations/underwriting
• Compliance best practices and the CFPB
• Used-car supply and pricing analysis
• Multiplatform remarketing
• Remarketing technologies
• Best practices for condition reports
• New initiatives from auctions
