automotive intelligence summit agenda

1st Confirmed Speakers for AIS 2020 — the Auto Intel Summit in Focus

For the Auto Intel Summit, the focus has always been on the future.

For most of us entering 2020 and a new decade in the 21st century, the concept of the “future” seems…well, very much like the present these days. Autonomous vehicles. Changing mobility structures. AI, and much more. The opportunities seem endless!

AIS will continue to move and grow with what and who is on the cusp of innovation for the automotive industry. For 2020 and the near future, according to our audience, the following key focuses are top of mind: compliance and regulations, connectivity, mobility, digital retail, predictive analytics, investing and M&A, fintech solutions and economic forecasting.

AIS will be held in April this year, 14-16, in Raleigh, N.C.! The Early bird rate — available now — saves you $400 of on-site registration!

These topics, which have been honed since launching the event in 2018 also happen to be the key focuses of AIS — and served as the overarching content themes for the agenda in 2019.

AIS itself, of course, is tied not only to those topics, but to the overarching backbone of innovation, and whatever is new and productive for the auto industry — relevant content for each new year — or decade, in this case.

Marilu McQuilkin, Sr. Director, Events & Marketing, Cherokee Media Group, had this to say about the creation — and evolution — of AIS: “The event is designed to flow with innovation in the industry — following and exploring the latest technology and initiatives pushing the collective auto business forward,” she said. “What tech is making it easier to retail vehicles? What new product is streamlining the credit and F&I process? What’s next for mobility and vehicle ownership trends? These are the types of questions we aim to answer for our attendees each year of AIS.”

Bill Zadeits, conference chair for the Auto Intel Summit, added, “One of the great things about AIS is the collaboration with industry leaders through initiatives like the Auto Intel Council (more on that here!) and our commitment to bringing together thought leaders and relevant content that highlight the latest in auto, and asks the tough questions — the ones the industry are still trying to solve.”

Where’s the auto industry headed over the next decade? If you have the answers, why not speak at AIS 2020? 

And the 2019 AIS agenda was so well received — with the backbone of the latest in fintech and digital retailing — that the AIS team will be bringing back a few of our most well-received speakers, as well as a new onslaught of innovators and creators in the auto space this year!

Already confirmed for our 2020 April agenda are:

Follow the Money: Where is the Investment Going in Auto?

Venture capital. What’s the breadth of the role it plays in today’s automotive landscape, and what avenues are getting the most attention from top investors and why?

That’s what the 2019 Automotive Intelligence Summit aims to address come July 23-25 in Raleigh, N.C. That’s why Investing & M+A is one of the core focuses of the second year of the AIS event — that aims to touch on each new horizon for the future of auto and auto finance.

The Auto Fin Journal reported earlier this spring that according to the “2018 U.S. Fintech Market Report,” complied by S7P Global Market Intelligence, investment surpassed $5 billion last year in six categories: payments, insurance technology, investment and capital markets technology, digital lending, banking technology and financial media and data solutions.

“Buzzwords will come and go, but there is no end in sight for technological innovation in financial services. That innovation will become even more efficient as tech-oriented companies and financial institutions play to their strengths,” S&P Global Market Intelligence said in the report.

Dinesh Chopra, Chief Strategy Officer, Ally Financial

The content for the 2019 Auto Intel Summit is designed to be fresh, relevant and crucial to your business. And who better to hear from on water-cooler topics like digital retailing than from those on the front lines? In this case, that’s car dealers.

One of the most exciting things for the team organizing AIS has been the connection and collaboration with local dealers.

Cherokee Media Group, the presenters of AIS, has been headquartered  in the Triangle region of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill), since parent company S&A Cherokee’s inception in the early 1980s. And one of the neatest things about holding AIS from our home base has been connecting with local players in the auto industry — and big ones at that.

This year, AIS has added another significant partnership to its roster: The The North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association(NCADA) is an official industry partner of the Auto Intel Summit, which will take place in Raleigh from July 23-25.

Robert Glaser, President and CEO, NCADA, commented on the partnership, saying, “The Automotive Intelligence Summit will cover the most important emerging issues facing our industry today.

That’s why we think you should consider the Automotive Intelligence Summit, which just released its 2019 Agenda.

Mary Ross, President of Californians for Consumer Privacy, and former CIA Counterintelligence Officer and Counsel on the House Intelligence Committee, will explore the intersection of data privacy and big data.

Andrew Tai, CEO, MotoInsight, will separate the facts from fiction in digital retail on Wednesday, July 24th, at AIS 2019.
