Dealer Communications, the leading multi-media information source for automotive dealers and managers, will hold a one-day regional workshop – the Digital Dealer Workshop -- at the Hilton Houston Post Oak Hotel, January 17,  in Houston, TX.

One track -- 360 Degrees of Automotive e-Commerce – offers dealers who don't get the Internet the opportunity to come to this workshop for a day and leave understanding how the Internet and digital technology affects all of their business.   “This track offers dealers everything you always wanted to ask about the Internet...but were afraid to ask (your employees),” noted Michael Roscoe, President and CEO of Dealer Communications.

For dealers and managers from dealerships at an intermediate or advanced level of digital sales, marketing and operations practice, there will be tracks on:  Social Media and New Technologies; Sales, Process and Fixed Operations; and Websites, Marketing and Analytics.   Dealers may chose to attend a single track all day, or attend a mix of sessions from any of the tracks.
