CAR 2023 has lined up a panel of auction executives to dissect how the major changes in the remarketing industry since 2020 will steer the course of auctions in the years ahead.

As auctions consolidate and digital options grow, owners and managers must determine the most advantageous business arrangements and practices for a market handling inventory, pricing, and technological pressures. The executives will review the results of recent mergers and acquisitions and how they are reshaping the industry.
