CBT News Announces 2017 CBT Automotive Conference & Expo Keynote Speakers

ATLANTA - Aug. 9, 2016 - PRLog -- On March 7, 2017, CBT News will host their 2^nd annual CBT Automotive Conference & Expo in downtown Atlanta, GA. Taking place at the Hyatt Regency, this 3-day conference attracts retail automotive professionals from dealerships, automotive groups and associations throughout North America.

CBT announced recently that Gary Vaynerchuk will deliver a keynote at the 2017 conference. Gary Vaynerchuk, also known as Gary V., is a New York Times Best Selling author, serial entrepreneur and social celebrity best known for his YouTube show The #AskGaryVee Show. Also appearing will be Jon Acuff, the New York Times Bestselling author of five books including his most recent, Do Over: Rescue Monday, and Peter Leto, Google Automotive, Head of Retail Sales.

"Following the success of our 2016 speaker selection, it is imperative that we deliver another strong line-up going into 2017. We are more than excited to have Gary V. at the conference. Gary's no-nonsense approach to everyday challenges associated with the life of an entrepreneur, family business and success in general will resonate with our dealer attendees. His somewhat crass delivery is not only motivating and impactful; it's exactly what our audience needs to take charge of their own success." – Jim Fitzpatrick, CBT Founder/CEO.

In its first year, the conference attendees benefited from such speakers as Coach Nick Saban, Marcus Lemonis, Patrick Lencioni and Jason Dorsey. The 2017 event will feature 6 keynote speakers in total with other names to be announced. In addition, auto dealers will benefit from 75+ DealerTalks Breakout Sessions from elite industry trainers including Tom Stuker, Brian Pasch, Jeff Cowan, David Lewis and many more. The CBT Conference and Expo addresses every aspect of retail automotive including Leadership & Management, Marketing, Social Media, Technology, Sales Strategy, F&I, BDC, Fixed-Ops and Customer Experience.

The onsite Expo will showcase 80 organizations and companies with products or services that appeal to auto dealers and dealer personnel. Exclusive to the CBT Conference and new for 2017, the Customer Excellence Lounge and the Digital Lab will deliver free one-on-one expertise.
