The User Summit spans three days and features breakout sessions offering in-depth training on how to get the most out of Auto/Mate's dealership management system (DMS).

"This event offers our customers a great opportunity to ask us questions, make suggestions and network with other people who work at dealerships, allowing them to share ideas and best practices," said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate Dealership Systems.

User Summit attendees will be able to choose from a variety of educational workshops, presentations and training sessions to learn how to better utilize the Auto/Mate system and see new and in-pilot features. Additional highlights include speakers, meals and happy hours.

“The Auto/Mate team is very receptive to our needs,” said John Corsa, controller at Susquehanna Auto. “I went to last year’s summit with three suggestions from our management team and left a breakout session delightfully surprised knowing that they are already scheduled for production."
