ALBANY, N.Y. –

Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced Monday it has opened the pre-registration for its Fall User Summit.

The event will be hosted in Oak Brook, Ill., near Chicago, on October 12 and 13 later this year.

The company invites its dealership customers to attend the event which, other than being a networking opportunity, will feature product training from the company’s technology experts as well as news on the latest updates and info on the company’s DMS.

“I’ve really enjoyed meeting with our customers during our first two User Summits on the east coast, so we’re taking this event on the road,” said Mike Esposito, the company’s president and chief executive officer. “The opportunity to hear our customers’ feedback, questions and suggestions on our product line has been invaluable, and we hope to provide the same value to them with our educational tracks.”

The event will be hosted at the Hilton Chicago / Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center.

The company highlighted that attendees who pre-register by Friday, July 31 can enter to win a free hotel room for up to two nights. The deadline for booking discount-rated rooms for the event ends September 4.
