Auto Intel Summit Attendee List

Furthering Auto Innovation: A Thank You to Our AIS 2019 Attendees, Speakers & Partners

The second-ever Automotive Intelligence Summit is in the books. Last week, Cherokee Media Group hosted over 230 leaders across the auto industry, from digital retailing and cybersecurity experts, to some of the greatest minds in fintech and auto finance.

Once again, attendees and speakers convened at the Crabtree Marriott in N.C.’s capital (thankfully, just days after one of the worst heat waves in years broke and ushered in weather mild for N.C. summers).

It might have been cooling off outside, but things were heating up last week at the AIS conference, as attendees and expert speakers discussed some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities in auto.

Part of the reason Cherokee Media Group orchestrates events such as AIS is so companies can have a venue for dialogue that can result in partnerships like this.

Further, as mentioned by conference Chair Bill Zadeits prior to the event — the conference is also designed to “move the dial” forward on the auto industry.

“What’s next? And how do we get there? These are the issues we need to address as an industry, and the questions we need to answer.” Zadeits said. “And that’s just what happened at this year’s event.”

Session attendees at the Automotive Intelligence Summit, July 23-25, 2019, at the Marriott in Raleigh, NC.

Panels with leaders from Wells Fargo, EY, the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association (NCADA), Ally, the Federal Trade Commission and many more dotted the event, and discussed key topics to the auto industry such as:

• The next horizon of fintech
• The use of AI in auto loan collections
• How legacy companies and start ups change and innovate
• The changing world of customer experience
• Auto dealerships and digital retailing
• The importance of data privacy
