Fancy joining us? Register here!

From geopolitical to social developments, the automotive sector is directly affected. Not to mention erratic government policy and rising operating costs. There’s no better place to discuss these issues – and much more besides – than AUMACON’s annual Dealerholding Event, of course.

Topics to be covered this year include: the impact of the new (Chinese) brands, (online) car sales, current and future market developments, and the sustainability of the business model for car dealers. A packed programme for a great afternoon.

Monday 7 September, Dauphine Amsterdam

Doors open between 3.30 pm and 4.00 pm.
