Closing General Session

Uncertainty surrounding tariffs, the state of consumers, and access to credit are creating new hurdles for independent dealers. Join us for an in-depth discussion on the critical economic issues surrounding trade policies, analysis of the health of the Texas consumer, and the financial challenges companies face when accessing credit. While it’s not a crystal ball this panel will leave you with the ability to assess the environment your dealership is operating in and allow you to make informed decisions for the upcoming year.
