Building Success
The Women’s Meetup at Digital Dealer Conference & Expo brings women from across the industry together for two days of networking, idea-sharing, and career-building conversations. Held on the expo floor, this featured event is included with your Digital Dealer registration—no additional sign-up required. The meetup will be integrated with the Women in Dealerships (WIND) program, the Solera Foundation’s initiative focused on helping women in automotive retail grow their influence, expand their leadership pathways, and build meaningful industry connections.
Daily Schedule
The Women’s Meetup runs both days of Digital Dealer. The format is the same each day, built to give you a consistent, easy-to-plan block of time.
Sessions begin at 12:10 PM each day and flow directly into lunch. No rushing between rooms, no competing priorities. Just 80 minutes carved out specifically for you.

The Experience
Learn, Connect, and Grow
Each day starts with interactive sessions on the DealerTech Live Stage, covering topics such as leadership, career growth, digital strategy, and automotive industry trends.
At 12:30 PM, the conversation continues in the Pit Stop, where attendees enjoy lunch, share ideas, and build
professional connections.
Workshop-Style Programming
Each session on the DealerTech Live Stage is designed for engagement, not passive listening. You’ll walk away with perspectives and strategies you can apply, not just slides to forget
Peer-to-Peer Conversation
The reserved tables at the Pit Stop aren’t random seating. They’re a structured opportunity to connect with women who understand your industry, your pressures and your goals. The lunch format keeps conversations focused and time well
spent.
High Visibility on the Expo Floor
Both locations sit at the center of the show. You’re surrounded by the industry’s leading solution providers, thought leaders, and fellow dealership professionals the entire time. The meetup puts you in the middle of it all.
Intentional Timing
Scheduling the programming immediately before lunch means you arrive at the table with something to discuss. The momentum from the stage carries into every conversation, making the networking hour feel natural rather than forced
A Community Built for Women in Automotive
This is a space where your experience is the starting point. No explaining the industry. No contextsetting. Just a room full of women who are already doing the work and want to do it better, together.
Women in Dealerships (WIND) is the Solera Foundation’s dealership-focused movement designed to help women in the automotive retail industry claim their power, grow their influence, and carry leadership forward across the industry.
