HOUSTON, TEXAS - The National Alliance of Buy Here, Pay Here Dealers (NABD) today announced that it will host its 17th Annual BHPH Conference at the Wynn in Las Vegas May 19-21, 2015. The program is designed for both new and experienced operators who want to be more successful in the competitive subprime auto finance market of today. The conference theme is “The Very Best of Buy Here Pay Here”, and the conference features many of the nation’s most successful operators and industry experts.

            Kenneth Shilson, CPA, NABD founder and Conference Chairman explained that “this year we have added several new sessions to our agenda, including: a first-time attendee reception, a Hall of Fame Members Best Practices Panel, reporting to credit bureaus when you are a small operator, connection commerce tips to regain market share, new performance benchmarks and trend data, the latest compliance and regulatory updates, and much more.” Fourteen concurrent workshop sessions will include topics such as new technology to increase profits and cash flow, payment device best practices, capital, compliance systems, add-ons, internet, social media and website tips, IRS updates, maximizing recoveries, twenty groups, inventory acquisition and reconditioning strategies, a current issues update and much more. All workshops will be interactive so attendees can ask questions and get answers to subjects of interest.

            The conference begins at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, May 19, with a First-Time Attendee Reception. The Workshops follow, and continue on Wednesday morning, May 20. The General Education Sessions begin in the afternoon on May 20 and continue until 1:00 PM on Thursday, May 21 when the Conference concludes. Featured speakers and panelists include leading industry attorneys, CPA’s, NABD Hall of Fame members, capital providers, technology experts, auctions, web site and social media experts and many others. “We will have more than 60 speakers and panelists this year.

            The Conference will also feature a large Exhibit Hall, with more than 100 different sponsors. “We expect this to be the largest exhibit hall in the history of the BHPH industry,” Shilson declared. “No other BHPH conference will have as many products and services that can help operators compete more successfully. Two receptions, a luncheon, and two coffees will be held inside the exhibit hall to facilitate networking between attendees and experts. We have arranged a $500 cash give away and other great prizes to be awarded on Wednesday night at the Reception.”
