While the organization is getting ready for its annual visit to Capitol Hill, the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association is also preparing for the BHPH Dealer Forum in the Music City.

Set for Nov. 9-11 at the Loews Nashville, the BHPH Dealer Forum will include what NIADA called the hit of last year’s event. What’s being positioned as deep-dive, three-hour workshops are designed to give attending dealers an opportunity to dig into a subject, ask questions and hold engaging conversations about how to run their business.

NIADA will lead “Building Versatility into your Business Model.” The association will dive into capital availability, portfolio performance expectations, succession planning and other items to help dealers adapt their businesses to the changing used-vehicle market.

Doug Turner, senior director vehicle acquisitions and remarketing at America’s Car-Mart, will be back to lead the session, “The Heart of the Matter — Inventory Management.” Turner will guide dealers through the acquisition of vehicles to getting them to the front line.

NIADA 20 Group moderator John Dismukes will present, “All the Moving Parts to Moving More Metal.” Dismukes will give dealers actionable strategies for branding, marketing, lead generation, pricing and closing sales. The session will also cover the use of AI.

The deep-dive workshops are only part of the education at the BHPH Dealer Forum. Also on the agenda are the popular dealer roundtables led by some of the top dealers in the nation return, along with nine breakout sessions led by NIADA moderators, dealers and industry experts.

Early bird registration runs through Oct. 10, with a chance to save $200 ($495 per person for NIADA dealer members, $695 dealer non-members). Group discounts are available for dealer groups with two or more registrants.

Discounted rooms are $269 per night are available through Oct. 16 or until the room block sells out.
