    celebrities and dignitaries such as Marion Davies, Lilian Gish, Thomas Edison, PresidentWarren G. Harding and artist John Singer Sargent.

    Deering, a famed conservationist, used the mansion as his winter home from 1916 until hisdeath in 1925. In designing the estate, Deering was inspired by a combination of Venetoand Tuscan Italian Renaissance models which he adapted to Floridas native ecosystem.The Vizcaya includes elaborate gardens, woodlands, the mansion, museum and village.

    The exclusive Versace Mansion is Ocean Drives most infamous residence and provides amagical setting for the 2012 Automotive Leadership Roundtables Annual Awards Dinnercelebrating the accomplishments of the countrys #1 dealers.

    Built in 1930, the house retains most of the original structure with all the charm of theMediterranean style. In 1992, Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace visited South Beach,saw the home, and fell in love with it. He restored the home to its original glory and broughtinternational celebrities like Elton John and Madonna to party there. After Versaces death,the 19,000 square foot Rococo beach front villa in the heart of South Beach remained anicon of fascination. The 10-room hotel is modeled on a Roman palazzo lled with fountains,frescoes and stained glass, featuring a pool and terrace tiled in thousands of colorfulmosaics and lined in 24k gold.

    Dinner attendees will be treated to an extraordinary pre-dinner reception in Versacescourtyard. As they enter the gorgeous pool terrace, they will be serenaded by the sounds ofone of Miamis smoothest Cuban bands. A six-star dinner awaits followed by a celebratorytoast with Louis XIII cognac, decadent desserts, hand-rolled cigars and after-dinner partiesin the mansions many luxurious suites a perfect environment for the end of the 2012Awards Dinner.

    ThE MoST ExCLuSiVE SponSorShipSThe reason everyone wants to work with the top dealers in the country is because OEMs andother dealers watch and imitate their best practices, and their thought leadership often shapesthe products and services of the companies they work with.

    However, it is very dif cult to reach this exclusive group of leaders because of their limitedtime and access. Companies spend a lot of money and time participating in large industryconferences with the hopes of reaching top dealers but many of these leaders dont havethe time to attend long conferences. When they do attend, it is dif cult to make a meaningfulconnection in these crowded environments where dealers often get pitch fatigue.

    The Automotive Leadership Roundtable Sponsorship bene ts are:

    The Automotive Leadership Roundtable brings together the perfect audience includingthe #1 dealers in the world, OEM executives and thought leaders in the industry.

    The leading dealers have the biggest budgets, in uence, and impact in the industry andworking with them often brings a lot of valuable business from other dealers and OEMs.

    The ALRs high-impact experiences offer an extraordinary environment for your companyexecutives to connect and build lasting relationships with dealer principals and seniormanagement of the top-selling dealerships in the country, OEM executives and industrythought leaders.

    ALRs exclusive sponsorship ensures that there are fewer companies competing to reachthese top leaders so it is easier to connect with them.

    The 6-star evening events provide the perfect opportunity to connect and build personalrelationships with leading dealer and OEM executives.

    The Automotive Leadership Roundtable provides your team with cutting edge informationand insights that are provided by the best and brightest leaders in the industry.

    The 24-hour format gives you and the attendees the greatest return on your time by

    packing in a lot in a shorter time period.

    The cost of delivering these world class experiences are high and are divided among a smallergroup of sponsor companies so they are more expensive. However, they deliver the greatestreturn on investment because you will connect with the top dealers and OEM executives inthe industry in more meaningful ways that will result in more business with them long term andthe others who follow their lead.
