9:00am Opening Remarks Day 2  
9:15am The New Normal: How Value Shopping Has Redefined the Competitive Set: There's a "new normal" in town. It's a fundamental shift in the way consumers shop for cars, and it has blurred the line between new and used vehicle shopping. In this program, Rick Wainschel of AutoTrader.com will reveal the results of brand new research about consumers' perception of Certified, as well as offer new insights about Certified shopping behavior and how consumers are cross-shopping New and Used Cars on AutoTrader.com's consumer site. Attendees will walk away with an expanded definition of cross-shopping (and with it their competitive set) and what they can do to capture future fence-sitters.
