⏰ The Clock Is Ticking

Hi friends!

We are getting into the final stretch before ASOTU CON and boy are we excited!

Here are just a few of the things that have been coming together this week:

• Speakers, speakers, and more speakers! We’ve been having meetings with our 90+ speakers to ensure each session is filled to the brim with wisdom, expertise, and insights to take back to your dealership.

• Swag, swag, and more swag! We’re talking shirts, scarves, bracelets, totes, pins — and that’s just the beginning. If you want to tell the world you care about people more than cars, we’ve got you covered (quite literally).

• Snacks, snacks, and more snacks! In addition to all of the included meals, we’ve got a killer snack bar coming together to keep you recharged and refreshed all day long.

This shindig is gonna be one for the books, y’all! You ready?
