There will be a different-than-usual beginning to the JD Power Automotive Internet Round Table in Las Vegas October 7-9th.  Three concurrent events targeted at automotive retailers dealing with pushing their online reach start at 1:00p on Tuesday at the Bellagio.

IM@CS is pleased to be hosting the Internet Fundamentals session to assist dealers first (or still) getting their hands around the what, why and how of 'to do's' for their online presence.  In the Fixed Ops/Service arena TimeHighway and RepairPal.com are going to present opportunities to dealers.  Marketing to Women is the third topic, one that is very much misunderstood and typically not executed on well for our industry, headed up by Melanie Kovach of AutoMart.com and including a great panel of speakers

So far over 750 automotive and non-automotive industry leaders, influencers, manufacturers, marketers and solution providers are expected in making this the marquee event in the industry.

J.D. Power has established
several ways for participants to connect to each other at and after the Roundtable
including a blog, micro-blog, social network and website.
