The Vehicle Remarketing Association (VRA) has announced the first details of speakers set to appear at its annual seminar.
The event, which will be held on 27 November at The Slate, Warwick University, will feature Graeme Chaplin of the Bank of England, David Bailey of Birmingham Business School, Melissa Seckington of Wilson’s Auctions, Michael Tomalin of City Auction Group, Olivia Mills of Zenith, and Danny Minshall of Greenhaus.
VRA chair Philip Nothard said: “The seminar is the centrepiece of the VRA’s activities each year, attracting close to 200 delegates and very much a fixture in the motor industry calendar. Last year, someone commented to me that we had managed to attract a line-up of speakers that would normally only be found at three-day Financial Times event, and we plan to deliver something similar once again.
“Each November, we look to the year ahead with a range of experts providing an outstanding degree of insight into an array of important topics that will have an impact on remarketing.
“This year, we’ll be looking at everything from the macroeconomic picture to the pressures affecting manufacturers, and from the future of valuation to where next for motor auctions?
“We’ve also taken a look at the format for the event this year. There will be more on-stage interviews and fewer straightforward presentations, which is an approach that we are finding helps to drive interest during our events and ultimately delivers more content that is directly relevant to delegates.”
The event, sponsored by Autochat, Autograb, DNM Logistics, and Indicata, is free to attend for VRA members and motor industry professionals.
