Dealer Support LIVE is an event aimed specifically at independent dealers, with a focus on providing delegates with the knowledge they need for a successful future – no fluff, no puff – just tangible, relevant information.

The event will be an interactive learning experience. We know better than most just how busy dealers are and, with this in mind, Dealer Support LIVE is a fast-paced event that promises to be the best possible use of their time.

Delegates want to cut through the formality and get down to business. They want a vision of their future business and therefore need insight from the Industry leaders. They have had enough of being told ‘Why’ they need to change and now want to know ‘How’ to make the necessary changes.

WHY IS DEALER SUPPORT LIVE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT?

• The strategy for the event is small scale, intimate and relationship-driven • We are targeting 200 delegates and we aim to get them • Our event will attract both dealer managers/owners and sales teams thanks to lots of focused, relevant content • We are targeting independent dealers, although members of dealer groups are welcome • We are an independent organisation with the aim of championing the success of dealers and providing inspiring business solutions - we’re taking our decades of experience into the event • The content of our day is absolutely key to its success, and to ensure that the event offers delegates valuable learning and insight, the majority of our content is delivered by totally independent experts and leaders in their respective fields

Q U I C K FA C T S • W e will have a maximum of 30 supplier stands on the day and, with circa 200 delegates, you can imagine there’s plenty of time for discussion and doing business • We will have six key sponsors • The key partners will deliver or sponsor one of the seminar topics on the day – this means they present to a group of delegates who have signed up for the topic, as well as having the stand presence and marketing exposure. It’s a very strategic approach that has proved extremely fruitful for suppliers in our education and health events • Delegate tickets will be paid for, meaning those attending have shown a clear desire to be part of our schedule and have bought into the day • The association with Dealer Support magazine means the associated marketing via the magazine is seen by our 5,200 strong readership – so the sooner an exhibitor signs up the more exposure their brand gets.

The value of our event is definitely quality over quantity, the end result is a group of dealers/resellers brought together with forward thinking, market leading service providers and suppliers to promote discussion and forge meaningful relationships for future business opportunities.

We are keen to ensure that the day offers value to both our delegate and event partners. In our view this is simple to achieve by: • Ensuring delegates learn lots and have plenty of targeted and inspirational content to engage with throughout the day • Designating periods throughout the day to visit the exhibition and network with the service providers in the main event space exhibition • A capped number of exhibitors and sponsors, so that delegates don’t feel overwhelmed and exhibitors and sponsors are able to interact with the audience without the usual bun fight for attention!

Dealer Support LIVE offers an interactive version of our market leading magazine, covering all aspect of a dealer’s business. Visitors will be presented with tangible information that they can take back to their business and actually use to their advantage.

We recognise no two delegates are the same, so we work hard to offer a variety of learning platforms on the day, ensuring delegates can really build a day’s schedule that meets their specific needs.

SEMINARS It’s clear from everyday contact with dealers and the results of our event survey that there are numerous challenges facing dealers at the moment. Even after honing all of the issues down to the most commonly talked about topics it is going to be a fast-moving day with lots to fit it in. Dealers can choose seminars from the differently themed streams as they wish.

EXHIBITION An intimate, small scale exhibition with hand-picked service providers will run in the main event space throughout the day.

This will be a buzzy, interactive area with tables, networking sessions and breakout areas. This aspect of the event aims to offer delegates an opportunity to chat to and learn from the small number of supplier partners. We only invite a small number of key specialists to our event, who we know can deliver the products, services and advice our delegates can benefit from.

OPEN Q&A Towards the end of the day there will be an open Q&A session with a panel of key industry faces and finally there will be a guest speaker who will provide insight regarding the UK economy and talk about how the current state of affairs will impact on business.

APPOINTMENTS In addition to the above, we will be setting up face-to-face appointments between dealers and exhibitors, ensuring plenty of discussion – and business – happens on the day.
