"Supercharge Your Sales By Connecting with Millennials" Eric Brown of Dataium/IHS Automotive & Fred Bucher of Time Warner Cable Media The Digital Dealer conference winds down on Wednesday morning. The exhibitors hall was already closed and there were fewer attendees. I attended two sessions and the final Keynote presentation, by Famous Rhodes, Vice President of Digital & Customer Experience at AutoNation which owns over 300 automobile franchises. Another Olathe Ford Lincoln employee was meeting me to catch a cab to the airport at noon and I arrived near the casino entrance a few minutes early. It was time for my only gambling of the trip and I found a 25 cent bank of my favorite game - Jacks or Better, video poker. I played for just 10 minutes and quit $10 ahead.
The line for a taxi had 40 or more people and there were no taxis, but a limo offered to take people to the airport for $10/each and we crowded into the back with 9 other people for the short ride to the airport. The flight home was mostly smooth. I had a window seat on the left side of the airplane and spent the first 45 minutes photographing northern Arizona, including Lake Powell. If only there had been a little less haze!
