To register, visit either http://nrc.autoremarketing.com/ or http://cpo.autoremarketing.com/ and click on the "Register" tab at the top. You will be taken to a secure registration site where you can register for one or both conferences. 

Early registration is $395 for the CPO Forum, $795 for the NRC and $895 for both conferences. After the early registration period, the cost goes up to $595 for the CPO Forum, $995 for the NRC and $1,095 for both events. 

The two events will be held back-to-back at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, with the CPO Forum beginning the afternoon of Nov. 8 and the NRC kicking off Nov. 10 and continuing through Nov. 12. The morning of Nov. 10 will give conference attendees a chance to play the world-renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course. 

The National Remarketing Conference has long been recognized as the remarketing industry event of the year, and 2010 will be no exception. This dynamic event brings together industry executives from auction companies, automotive manufacturers, banks, finance companies and technology companies to strengthen and improve the important relationships connecting the wholesale and retail segments of the used-car market. 

Through its premier CPO Forum, the Auto Remarketing Forum Series helps dealers stay successful in a challenging marketplace by offering the latest news and bringing leading experts together to discuss market challenges and ways to overcome them.  

"The combining of these two powerhouse events creates one dynamic opportunity for attendees," said Bill Zadeits, conference co-chair. 

The discounted hotel room rate of $279 per night is available through Oct. 22.
