This is a tough one for me because I have recently been noticing far more overlap between the conferences, far more repetitive (or uneducated) sessions and a general shift in the conferences. I was at DD in Vegas and I didn't come away that impressed - the speakers were repetitive, the vendor floor seemed smaller or less exciting (and I heard multiple vendors complaining about the new schedule for the floor) and I didn't find it very well organized this time around (especially the sessions that were at the other hotel).


I enjoy the conferences, I love meeting other vendors and dealers and seeing what everyone is up to, but I think Digital Dealer could be 1 time a year and I'd be alright with that - there didn't seem to be "new to the last 6 months" sessions that included much content that had changed since the last DD. I also noticed that almost all the sessions I attended were vendors talking very specifically about the performance of their latest product or how they used their latest product to discover something that we should all know. I prefer the sessions from a dealer who is there to genuinely share his/her ideas and help other dealers improve on their own operations.
