ORLANDO, Fla. (PRWEB) June 13, 2019
The Women in Automotive conference and its educational content fulfills a gap in the automotive community. The goal is to move the automotive industry forward as it relates to the most influential segment of the market: women.
“More than 300 professionals from across the country attended the inaugural Women in Automotive Conference in 2015, and over 400 attended each in our 2016, 2017 & 2018 events. We expect our numbers to grow at an exponential rate in our upcoming 2019 even,” says WIA Founder, Christy Roman.
The three-day conference draws upon top female success stories as it assists the automotive community in recruiting, retaining, and developing female employees and leaders. It includes a networking event, speakers, breakout sessions, workshops, and booth displays – all centered on the goal of educating and inspiring women in all areas of the automotive industry.
Advanced Marketing Strategies Founder, Kathy Cunningham will be interviewing some of the experts at this year’s event for her Show Runner Marketing Podcast. Past guests have included Women in Automotive founders, Jody DeVere, Lisa Copeland, and Subi Ghosh.
Kathy says, “While at the conference, I plan to sit down for a more intimate one-on-one with some of the leading women in the industry. The podcast format allows listeners to step inside the more personal stories of these powerhouse women in automotive for inspiring, informational, and career building guidance.”

ABOUT THE WOMEN IN AUTOMOTIVE:
Women in Automotive was founded by six female industry leaders out of Orlando. The group is particularly interested in empowering and developing women in the auto industry. The philosophy is that this benefits both the women and the dealerships and will help facilitate the training and hiring of more females in dealerships.
Currently, the percentage of female employees remains stagnant at just 17% of all employees (according to NADA 2014 data). Whether that’s a function of the job requirements or dealer preference, Women In Auto is committed to bringing the two sides together. On the dealer side, by training and educating them on how to create a balanced position for women, and for women – by providing them a network and opportunities for skill set development.
