The Future of Automotive Technology — Dr. Peter Frise

Hear from leading industry expert Dr. Peter Frise of the University of Windsor, home of Canada’s first program in automotive engineering. Dr. Frise will talk about where automotive technology is going and why, and how it will impact Canada’s vehicle manufacturing sector, the automotive service/repair sector and how shops will need to respond to these trends to remain profitable in the future.

Government Incentives

While many business owners often state that their staff is their most valuable asset, their efforts in training and retention of their staff frequently do not reflect this value. Businesses that do not have a dedicated HR Department can greatly benefit from working with a local organization providing employment services. Hear how Agilec™ (an organization contracted by Employment Ontario & the Min-istry of Training, Colleges and Universities) works with both individuals and organizations to help develop their potential.

FEATURED SPEAKERS

Remember To Lock Your Car — Dr. David Chalk

Unfortunately this advice is no longer sufficient to protect your vehicle. How do we know if our vehicles are safe…and what is “safe”? How will the automotive aftermarket change as more technology is introduced? How will it impact your supply chain, your business and customer relationships, your staff and are you prepared for the potential disruption? David Chalk will take you on a journey to explore cyber security, what is ‘hacking’, what the future holds for you & innovative technology that will change the way we think and operate.

Driving Millennial Loyalty — Jamie Cuthbert

One of the key motivators driving Millennials to become loyal to any service provider is “information” - as long as it’s Easy to Get, Easy to Understand and Easy to Share. For comprehensive auto service to happen – the first step is a thorough vehicle inspection. The next part is tricky –“How do we get the information from the technician to the counter and over to the Millennial consumer, fast and easy?” They don’t want to talk - but you need answers. This session will explore options in the market and see what fits you best. The Millennials are your next big customer group and sooner you adapt – the bigger the slice of the pie will be yours.
