PR & News Digital Dealer - Is it Back?

Yeah insane. $3500 a ticket to go stare across the hall at vendors with nothing to do? insane. Wees and Raines Hackathon is literally the only thing there of value and I'd rather pay for Wees and Raines to do an in person training literally anywhere else as a matter of principal. Even if it cost 10X the price of these ridiculous industry tickets. Shameful.

A classic DR rant. Love it.

✨ AI Highlights

Automotive professionals are debating whether Digital Dealer 2026 in Detroit is worth attending, with the $3,500 ticket price drawing sharp criticism given the historically vendor-heavy crowd and lack of dealer attendance. The AI Hackathon featuring Brent Wees was cited as the only compelling draw, but live reports from the show floor confirmed the familiar pattern: vendors present, dealers absent.
