Exploring the New Frontier

in Customer Interaction

The Automotive Social Media Summit 2010 features:

- Real expertise on critical topics

- An intimate, executive environment

- Interactive, best-practice presentations

- True peer-to-peer learning

- Exclusive sponsors & strictly limited vendor involvement

- SEMA Vehicle Display!

Immediately following the Automotive Customer Centricity Summit, TLS is hosting the inaugural Automotive Social Media Summit.  The half day agenda will focus on how Social Media technology is fundamentally changing the Automotive business ecosystem, creating new challenges and opportunities for OEMs and Dealers in areas such as:

- Global OEM Strategies

- Individual and Dealer Group Strategies

- Creating 1 to 1 Engagement

- Earning True Loyalty

- Going Beyond Marketing Communications

Social Media strategies are becoming more important every day as consumers’ trust in traditional advertising drops in favor of reliance on recommendations from specific friends or groups of knowledgeable peers.  Marketing, sales, and customer service functions need to engage consumers where they are and communicate through their preferred channel.  The Automotive Social Media Summit will feature successful OEM and Dealer strategies utilizing Social Media and demonstrate how Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Digg, and Tweetmeme are being utilized to initiate, maintain, and leverage customer relationships.  In addition, the Summit will offer a forum to discuss the ability of Social Media to execute viral marketing campaigns, create buzz, and increase brand value.

SEMA Vehicle Display!

TLS is excited to announce a display of several Galpin Auto Sports vehicles showcasing innovative SEMA customizations including high tech enhancements, performance improvements, and unique appearance packages.  The vehicles will be available for viewing on the Promenade directly outside of the Ritz-Carlton throughout the Summit.
