The industry focuses quite a bit on certain niche segments. There are conferences for any major theme in automotive such as digital, leadership, finance, marketing, sales, etc. These events serve as great platforms for discussion, debate, networking, and most importantly innovation. People who attend these events are pushed and challenged and filled with information on the changes and progress in those fields. They find themselves growing every year. So, the real question is… why not a women’s conference?

Women are an under-served population in this industry when it comes to those needs and having those platforms. There is significant growth in the number of women working in automotive and attending conferences and seminars. With women only making up 2.8% of all dealerships and only holding 7% of the managerial, sales, and service advisor positions, Women In Automotive® feels passionate about providing a place for women to come together to share and learn.

We want to provide an experience that discusses challenges, changes, opportunities for education, personal branding, and career paths. A first-of-its-kind conference serving women that make up all aspects of the industry, Women In Automotive® is a stepping stone to the greater growth of women in this space, especially in leadership roles.
