The ninth annual edition of the TalkAuto Canada Conference will be held online on November 16, 2020, and will once again be hosted by Canadian Black Book and J.D. Power.
In keeping with COVID-19 physical distancing standards, the 2020 TalkAuto@Home event will be completely virtual and will span across the week from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. EDT each day, featuring an array of speakers, keynotes, and expert panelists.
“Canada as a nation has done an excellent job curbing this spread of COVID-19 and there is much work to be done, so J.D. Power and ourselves at Canadian Black Book, want to make sure we are contributing to the solution, not the problem,” said Brian Murphy, VP of Research & Analytics at Canadian Black Book.
Murphy said they feel a need to continue contributing and will do so by providing a forum for the industry to collaborate and help find solutions to common and current issues. The content of this year’s event will focus on trends, issues, technologies, and best practices being learned in today’s COVID-19 automotive economy.
“So much change has already taken place and we know there is more on the horizon,” said JD Ney, Automotive Industry Practice Leader, Canada at J.D. Power. “We want to provide a platform to help shed some light on the opportunities that exist in the rapidly transforming auto sector in Canada.”
Organizers have so far confirmed the following speakers for the event: Arianne Walker, Chief Evangelist for Alexa Auto at Amazon; Jon Sederstrom, Managing Director of Strategic Initiatives for J.D. Power’s Global Automotive division; Jeff Schuster, President, Americas Operation and Global Vehicle Forecasting at LCM Automotive; and CBB’s Brian Murphy.
