I attended the first Leedom convention in 1996 in Kansas City. This is always the best convention of the year. It's where the pros come together. The biggest names and operators in the business always attend this show. Bob Mulkey, owner, Regal Cars and Credit, Oklahoma City, Okla.

I am very impressed with this convention. It's very well put together and the people are very knowledgeable about this business. We have five people here so can split up and take in as much as we can. There's so much here. Patrick Konawel, National Auto Sales, Glassboro, N.J.

Chris Leedom is a master of giving us up-to-the-minute news and analysis about what we need to know and what we don't want to really want to hear about but must in terms of compliance. I just marvel at Chuck Bonanno's speaking skills. He is so knowledgeable — living our industry day in and day out — and he's able to be both very entertaining and informative. He's the best in the business. Mike Brill, B&B Automotive, Croydon, Pa.

I'm new to the business and this is my first convention. I've been in a variety of businesses over the past 26 years and attended a lot of conferences. This is the most informative about a single industry I've seen. It's absolutely amazing! I'm especially impressed with the level of commitment among the convention hosts to helping you succeed.
