Summary

Shaping the future of automotive

As the automotive sector throws all of its channels, product and business models up in the air, their slow-motion landing represents the largest single transformation of any industrial sector for 100 years.

We will discuss the opportunities and challenges facing D2C automotive sales, potential customer lifetime value as the new brands emerge within electrification, and the new relationships between customers and automotive brands.

The evening is designed for leaders across the sector, but specifically those in digital, retail marketing, C-Suite and technology.
