AM is launching a fully functioning virtual exhibition version of our annual Automotive Management Live event to enable dealers and OEMs to hear the latest insights and best practice plus network with their industry peers.

Coronavirus restrictions have prevented us from holding the annual Automotive Management Live show at the NEC, Birmingham. So we've invested heavily in an amazing, interactive, online exhibition platform that will let us deliver its usual fantastic range of expert presenters straight to AM Live Virtual registered attendees' PCs or iPads.

We've expanded AM Live Virtual to run over two days - Wednesday, December 2, and Thursday, December 3 - when attendees will be able to meet in the virtual networking lounge plus quiz the expert presenters in their live Q&A sessions.

"It's disappointing we can't all gather at the NEC as usual but AM Live Virtual allows us all to get precisely the same experience without leaving the dealership or office. It's going to be a fantastic event - the capabilities of the platform we're using are mind-blowing," said AM editor Tim Rose.

"It's going to be a fun and fascinating two days. I hope to see you there."

Many of the presenters at Automotive Management Live Virtual will be joined by a dealer client, which will provide a real life perspective of the topic.

And all the insight-packed presentations remain viewable after AM Live Virtual ends for another 30 days, so attendees can simply log in again to re-watch on demand.

The four strategic keynote sessions will examine the economic outlook, property management, dealer sustainability and strategies for leadership and motivation in a dispersed, remote, socially distanced world.

The six digital sessions at AM Live Virtual will include best practice in video, social media marketing, CRM and more.

And there will be six Retail sessions, which will include aftersales efficiency, effective use of technology, sales profitability and more.

All the presenters will be revealed in the coming weeks, and registration opens on October 12th. Meanwhile, enter your details here to keep informed of the latest announcements from the 2020 Automotive Management Live Virtual exhibition.

Only motor retailers and OEMs wil be permitted to register for AML Virtual.
