Testimonials from 2009 Conference Attendees:

I really thought this year’s event was one of the best, people seemed to attend the meetings and participate and the content was really good. It is the ONE conference event of the year that most people should attend. ~Bob Graham, director, Vehicle Remarketing, ARI - Automotive Resources International

I wanted to let you know I thought the CAR Conference was a big success. With the state of the economy I thought the attendance would be down considerably, so I was very impressed when I saw the attendance numbers and that attendance was actually up from last year. I really enjoyed participating on our panel and though it went well. ~Tim Meta, remarketing manager, Fifth Third Bank
