Registration costs $25 per person, and the fee is applied to the attendee's next membership dues payment if they attend.
The organizer identifies industry partners and experts among the event's audience.
It is most useful for owners and managers of independent used-car lots in Ohio, since one day puts them in front of 35+ vendors covering floor-plan and BHPH financing, dealership management software, auctions, service contracts and compliance help. The $25 registration is credited toward the next membership dues for attendees, so cost is low for association members; franchise dealers, or dealers outside Ohio, would get less from a regional show built around independent-dealer suppliers.
Attendees at independent dealer association expos usually wear business casual, such as collared shirts or polos with slacks or khakis, and a sport coat is optional. Comfortable shoes help for a day spent walking between vendor tables.
The organizer lists more than 35 industry partners, but does not provide an attendee total in the available event information.
