What’s Dealer Huddle?

This is your chance to attend a one-of-a-kind VIP Automotive and marketing student event, focused on showcasing the biggest insights into the future of the Canadian Automotive Industry. There will be several sets of speakers and panels across the marketing, technology, advertising, and automotive industries— including some of our very own from Strathcom!
