Following a sold-out 2026 event, the Maximizing Value Conference™ returns to Orlando on February 17, 2027, bringing together dealers and industry leaders for a morning focused on profitability, growth and the trends shaping automotive retail.

Haig Partners will host the 2027 Maximizing Value Conference™ on February 17 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, held in conjunction with the NADA Show. The conference is built for dealers and dealer management, with sponsorships intentionally limited and registration reserved for operators and investors in the retail automotive space.
The event centers on a simple premise: dealers who understand how to excel as both operators and investors are better positioned to build lasting value. This year's sessions bring together voices from government, economics, technology and media to help attendees make more from what they own today and invest wisely in what comes next.
