Past Webinars
ARA EV Readiness Committee Webinar: The Dealer Perspective - What EV Retailers Need From the Wholesale Lane
ARA's EV Readiness Committee has spent years looking at electric vehicles through the consignor's eyes. In this session, recorded live at the ARA 2026 Summer Roundtable in Frisco, Texas, it hears from the consignor's customer: the dealer. Moderator Jeremy Louisos of Preowned Auto Logistics talks with two Dallas-Fort Worth EV retailers. Jason Kopp is general manager of Autobahn BMW in Fort Worth, and Dink Davis owns I Drive One Motor Cars.
The dealers talk about what sets the EV buyer apart and why battery health reports now drive the sale. They also cover what has burned them at auction, from missing charging equipment to condition reports that leave out battery error messages. They share what they want consignors and auctions to disclose up front, how close wholesale prices now sit to retail, and why they expect EV demand to keep growing.
ARA PAL Webinar: Beyond the Scorecard - How Metrics and Relationships Drive Performance
The easiest things to measure aren't always the things that matter most. Performance metrics tell an important part of the story, but strong business relationships often reveal opportunities and challenges that never show up on a scorecard.
Join auction and consignor leaders for a candid conversation on how data, communication, and strong relationships come together to create better outcomes for everyone involved. Hear from experts at companies including Greater Rockford Auto Auction, Holman, AutoNation, and America's Auto Auction.
You'll explore how performance metrics and benchmarking can support collaboration, align expectations, and strengthen the partnerships that drive long-term success.
ARA PAL Webinar: Beyond Boundaries - Connecting Teams Across Generations and Geography
Today’s teams are more diverse than ever, spanning multiple generations, locations, and work styles. That creates real opportunities for stronger collaboration and broader perspectives, but it can also bring communication gaps, misaligned expectations, and challenges in keeping everyone connected.
Join ARA for an insightful webinar focused on how to build stronger, more engaged teams across generations and geography. You’ll hear practical perspectives from industry leaders on how to improve collaboration, strengthen workplace connections, and help teams stay aligned, no matter where or how they work.
ARA PAL Webinar: AI 101 - Practical Takeaways for Today’s Remarketing Professionals
Hosted by the ARA PAL Committee, this webinar was led by Dr. John Kohls, Vice President of Data Science and Analytics at ACV Auctions, and Jamye Carpenter, Vice President of Industry Relations and Auction Strategy at AFC. The session was designed for remarketing professionals at all experience levels and focused on practical, real-world uses of AI in daily workflows.
Rather than theory, the discussion highlighted how tools like ChatGPT and Gemini can support productivity, research, and decision-making, while also addressing limitations such as accuracy, hallucinations, and forecasting. Real-world examples, live demonstrations, and audience Q&A grounded the conversation in remarketing scenarios including arbitration, inspections, and sales planning, with a preview of additional AI resources coming from ARA’s AI Committee.
ARA PAL Webinar: The 7 Essential Questions for Leaders
Every leader has faced the moment: someone walks into your office with a problem, and before they finish explaining, you’ve already got the answer. It feels efficient—helpful, even. But according to leadership coach Joe Miller, it’s often where true development stops.
Miller, a former AutoIMS executive turned certified professional coach, says the best leaders don’t jump in with advice. They stay curious longer. “The more you solve for people,” he explained, “the less they learn to solve for themselves.”
That philosophy shaped his recent session hosted by ARA’s Professional Advancement & Leadership (PAL) Committee, where Miller walked members through seven questions every leader should have on standby—questions that transform conversations, grow capability, and make teams more independent.
