We are back from our annual summer break to talk about... CDK.

What can we learn from CDK? A cyber attack can happen to anyone, and many of us have probably experienced one. But what can we do to avoid the breadth of what we just saw for CDK DMS and eLead CRM dealers?


Tim Hayden is the CEO of Brain Trust Partners, helping businesses with their data security. April Simmons is a CDK dealer with the Horne Auto Group. Jeff Kershner is a CDK dealer. Alex Snyder is a CDK API partner. Everyone has some skin in what happened and we are going to talk through experiences with the aim to educate on how we can all learn from this.



Join us LIVE on Facebook, LinkedIn, or YouTube Friday at 1PM
