I have been fortunate enough to have been invited to present at Digital Dealer each time since it started in Nashville. I hope they continue to invite me as I find the show very benificial to all participants. We (Liquid Motors and myself) have made some incredible relationships at Digital Dealer and only hope they keep having us attend.
