HOUSTON, TEXAS – The
National Alliance of Buy Here, Pay Here Dealers (NABD) released the details of
its upcoming Buy Here Pay Here (“BHPH”) Conference in Orlando, Florida at the
Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive on November 3-5, 2015. The
Conference theme is “More Success, Less
Risk”, and the Conference is designed for both new and experienced
operators.
This
will be the 12th Annual East Coast Conference by NABD, which is the largest
used car special interest group for BHPH operators in the U.S. with over 12,000
members. The conference features dual-track workshop sessions starting at 3:00
PM on Nov. 3, covering BHPH best operating practices, and compliance. The
program features many of the nation’s leading attorneys, experts, and
successful operators who will share their latest tips and insights that bring
success in the highly competitive subprime auto finance market of today. The
Conference will open with a first-time attendee reception at 2:00 PM on Nov. 3.
The
compliance track entitled “Compliance University” is the only compliance
training designed specifically for BHPH operators! Attorney speakers include
Tom Hudson, Gerald Sachs, Terry O’Loughlin, Dave Bafumo, Mark Edelman, Allen
Denson, Trisha Cacciola and others. “This is the greatest assembly of legal
talent at one NABD event that we have ever assembled,” said Ken Shilson,
president and founder.
“The
compliance workshops will also include affordable compliance solutions which
will help operators avoid legal and regulatory mistakes that can cost millions
of dollars,” explained Shilson. Upon completion, all attendees will receive a
compliance certificate that evidences their participation.
The
“Best Operating Track” includes sessions on website design and content,
technology solutions, payment devices, marketing strategies to gain market
share, inventory sourcing and reconditioning, and capital. These sessions
feature leading experts and operators who will share ideas that succeed in the
current environment. “The workshops will not be infomercials, and will benefit
both owners and all key employees,” Shilson asserted.
On
Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning the dual tracks will combine into the
general sessions covering lease here, pay here; using new technology to finance
and source inventory; collections; repossessions; and payment device best
practices; new benchmarks and trends update; accounting /tax tips and update; a
regulatory developments forecast; underwriting tips; and a “take-aways” session.
Both the workshops and the general sessions feature new content never presented
before, and important information that will help attendees succeed. The
Conference ends at 1:00 PM on Nov. 5 to facilitate travel.
The
Exhibit Hall will include all the latest products and services that increase
BHPH profits and cash flow. Two receptions, a breakfast and a luncheon are
included that are designed to allow attendees to network with other operators,
experts and exhibitors.
