Used Car Week 2026

The 2026 event is at Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California.

The organizer identifies dealers, lenders, consignors, auctions, technology providers, investors, and other industry stakeholders as part of the audience.

It is most useful for auto lenders, auction and remarketing staff, and dealers who want to pick a specialist track, since the program is split into five tracks covering auto finance, wholesale remarketing, pre-owned retail, repossession and investment. Small single-rooftop dealers without a finance or wholesale interest would get less from it, because much of the content is aimed at lenders, consignors, auctions and investors.

Automotive finance and remarketing conferences usually see business casual, with many in collared shirts and blazers and few ties; San Diego in November is mild, so light layers suit a waterfront hotel.
