The presentation, Big Data Strategies to Capitalize on Your Used Car Marketing, was selected by a panel of dealers in a highly competitive process, just 1 in 3 applications were accepted.  Bockius and White join an agenda that includes seven keynotes from a Harvard Business School faculty member, leading search marketing and content marketing strategists, branding experts and technology visionaries, several of which are award-winning authors.

The DSES has sold out every year since inception and hosted over 1,000 attendees last year. It is unique in the industry because auto dealers determine the speakers and agenda. This year’s summit will be held Sunday, October 18 through Tuesday, October 20, 2015 at the Bellagio Las Vegas. 

“Tom White, Jr. and I are thrilled to be delivering this seminar on how big data can help dealerships sell more used cars and capture more online leads. Dealers will be able to walk out of our session with actionable items they can take back to their dealership to start driving up their used car conversions,” said Chad Bockius, Chief Marketing Officer of CarStory.

Attendees of DSES will see industry-first data regarding the change in consumer shopping behavior on used car marketplaces and dealer websites.

“CarStory’s presentation was chosen from a competitive group of applicants comprising some of the industry’s most innovative dealer executives and thought leaders.   Clearly “Big Data Strategies to Capitalize on Your Used Car Marketing” resonated with our dealer panel because it offers the kind of ahead-of-the-curve insights, actionable information, and profit-building practices that our attendees can take home and immediately implement in their dealerships,” said DrivingSales CEO and Founder, Jared Hamilton.  “We are very proud to add both Chad Bockius of CarStory and Tom White Jr. from Subaru of Wichita to our 2015 agenda.”
