Cherokee Media Group has announced the addition of the Florida Independent Automobile Dealers Association as a partner in its inaugural Used Car Industry Summit, set for April 13-15 in Miami.

As part of this partnership, FIADA member dealers will be able to attend UCS for free.

“Dealers are the backbone of the used-car ecosystem, especially the independent entrepreneurs specializing in the pre-owned side of the business,” said Cherokee Media Group president and UCS chair Bill Zadeits.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the Florida Independent Automobile Dealers Association for the inaugural Used Car Industry Summit,” Zadeits said.  “FIADA represents some of the most innovative, hard-working businesses in the great state of Florida, and their partnership adds another dimension to the UCS lineup.”

Built on the success of Used Car Week, UCS will have the very best of the used-car industry on display. With an emphasis on retail, remarketing, and auto finance, this event is designed to offer a more focused networking experience for business-building conversations and stronger connections.

Set in the scenic and popular destination of Miami, the Used Car Industry Summit introduces a fantastic East Coast location and an immersive gathering for industry leaders, innovators, dealers, and stakeholders. UCS will offer a relaxed setting, a fresh approach, and a new opportunity for the used-car industry to network, exchange ideas, gain strategic insight, and shape the future of the used-car business.

And a big part of that future is electric vehicles, particularly used EVs. With that in mind, UCS will include a dedicated “EV Day” track, as well.
