Brian Pasch again? Absolutely. And once more with insights that will truly impact your business.

People sometimes ask me: “Paul, why do you keep inviting Brian Pasch to the #DCDW Event?”
My answer is simple: because every single time, he’s worth it. And this year, perhaps more than ever.

Brian isn’t just coming to the Netherlands and Belgium for the fun — he’s bringing the very latest insights straight from his own Digital Marketing Strategies Conference in the US. What’s discussed there usually takes months to reach Europe. But at #DCDW, you’ll be the first to know.

CDPs, Amazon & Hyundai, and Google Vehicle Listing Ads

Brian is the authority when it comes to online automotive. He has an unmatched ability to translate large, often abstract themes like Customer Data Platforms into concrete action steps. This year, he’ll once again address the big questions every dealer faces:

• What does the partnership between Amazon and Hyundai mean for your business model?

• Are Google Vehicle Listing Ads an opportunity — or just another revenue stream for Google?

• How can dealer groups and importers use their data in a truly strategic way?

No theory — just a practical translation from the U.S. reality to the European context. And trust me: Brian’s insights will save you time, money, and costly mistakes.

AI in Automotive: from voice recognition to aftersales automation

And Brian is just the beginning. This year, we’re going big with a theme that’s become unavoidable in our industry: AI in Automotive.

What can you expect?

• Maarten Bekkers (Novaco) on the biggest bottleneck in online workshop appointments — and how to solve it.

• Hielke Ytsma (CarQall) on how Voice AI can improve customer contact and save time.

• A roundtable discussion led by Michel van Roon MSc., with Maarten, Hielke, and Hugo van der Sman from Calldrip (AI) on automation in aftersales.

Special for Belgium (May 13, Van der Valk Antwerp):

• Alexander Prinssen in conversation with Stijn Blanckaert, director of Renta, about the future of leasing and mobility.

• Alex Caspar: “From digitisation to automation — the next step in the workshop!”

• Pitches from AMI Lead, Moba CertifyPro, and BCA Auctions.

Special for the Netherlands (May 14, Van der Valk Almere):

• Marktplaats & Herwers Auto’s show how they improved lead quality — with insights you can apply tomorrow.
