After two years of virtual online events, TalkAUTO Canada is back in person this November.

Taking place at the Universal Event Space in Vaughan, Ontario, on November 10, TalkAUTO Canada 2022 features an impressive lineup of guest speakers and content. 

The theme of this year’s conference is ‘An Industry in Transition’ with key topics including Digital Retailing, EVs, changing economy and customer journey.’

The conference will also feature an expert panel to discuss ’The Evolution of the Customer’.

“Innovative, expert, relevant, and timely content defines this event and makes it a standout in the Canadian auto industry’s event schedule,” said Yolanda Biswah, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Canadian Black Book. “This year our agenda and list of speakers is no different and will not disappoint.”

TalkAUTO 2022 will also feature a very well-known staple of the auto industry in Canada. This year will be the first time ever that the event will be used as the platform to announce the Canadian Black Book 2022 Best Retained Value Awards. The 15^th annual award winners will be featured as part of the agenda, including trophy presentations to the OEMs.

The keynote speaker at this year’s event will be Flavio Volpe, President of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association (APMA), who will present the State of the Automotive Industry in Canada.
