#5CARS Early Bird Roundtables

The early bird gets the most out of CARS 2008! Join in on the discussion during the Friday and Saturday morning free early bird roundtable sessions focusing on topics ranging from "Women in the Industry" and "Emerging Technologies" to "HR Issues/ Recruiting Online" and "The Challenges of the Upsell/Adding Services." This relaxed format for discussion allows participants to really get involved and get the most out of the session.

Bill Moss"CARS is the one event each year that combines education for management and technicians, association and networking with the top professionals in our industry, and exposure to the latest and greatest products and services to help us build our businesses. It is a 'must attend' on my calendar."

- Bill Moss, AAM
Manassas Park, Va.

#4Earn Credits Toward Your AAM Designation

The Automotive Management Institute's (AMI) Accredited Automotive Manager (AAM) designation is earned after completing 120 credits of AMI education and a requisite self-study course. This is quite an achievement that must be earned over time. You're in luck, though. There are 23 courses approved by AMI during CARS 2008 alone. You could be well on your way to your AAM after just one short week in Las Vegas.
