The Conference of Automotive Remarketing, the annual event known as CAR, will return to its founding audience roots in 2026, representing the voice and interests of business owners, fleet managers, and the engaged fleet vehicle ecosystem.
“We have heard from fleet managers and business owners of all fleet sizes who want us to return CAR as a forum to share thoughts on business vehicle remarketing topics including transfer of data consent between owners, state policies limiting a business owner to remarket their vehicles directly, and most importantly value recognition that a fleet-owned and routinely maintained vehicle, some having telematics or safety solutions installed, demands greater remarket dollars at the end of its lease than is currently being done,” said Colin Sutherland, CEO of Bobit Business Media Inc. (BBM).
“We are excited to share that CAR 2026 will be held in partnership with the NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA) and will coincide with NAFA’s Institute & Expo (I&E) event in 2026”, Sutherland said. “I have been a member of NAFA for 20 years and respect the association’s role and alignment with our core audience and core values for collaboration and forward evolution of industry topics”.
CAR 2026 will be held April 15-16, 2026. NAFA Institute & Expo (I&E) is April 13-15, 2026, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Registration for CAR 2026 will open in October. It will include access to NAFA’s I&E Exhibit Hall and discounted access for past CAR attendees who want to connect with the broader fleet ecosystem.
Nominations for the annual 2026 CAR Consignor and Remarketer of the Year Awards will be open in October, coinciding with BBM’s Fleet Forward Conference that informs and celebrates the fleet year ahead. New awards recognizing excellence in fleet remarketing will be announced soon.
