What is KnowledgeFest?
KnowledgeFest was founded in 1994 by a group of passionate specialty retailers and reps in the Midwest who saw the value in mobile electronics retailers getting together to share knowledge and experiences. In sharing successes and failures, all participants become better, smarter and more profitable business people. Since that time, KnowledgeFest has grown into a full trade show and educational conference like no other in our industry.
What's in it for me?
Today, KnowledgeFest events include over 18 educational workshops, 50 manufacturer trainings, great networking opportunities, and: a Mobile Electronics Show floor featuring manufacturer and benefit provider exhibits and displays. Talk one-on-one with people with which you do business (or should be!). Every major manufacturer and many specialty manufacturers will be there for you.
Over 40 hours of manufacturer training sessions are designed to make you the expert in your market. Specialized training for owner/managers, sales professionals and installation techs to keep your business on the cutting edge of profitability. Whether you're a seasoned veteran, or a relative newcomer to mobile electronics, KnowledgeFest has something for you.
What will I learn?
KnowledgeFest events will speak to the issues that retailers have told us are important for managing and growing their business. For example, topics like controlling expenses, maximizing cash flow and finding new ways to compete in this challenging economy. Learn the best ways for improving business relationships with manufacturers and reps, find out how to deal with connectivity issues and the defective dilemma and make the right decisions for marketing and advertising to today's consumer. Find the most effective ways to make the Internet your friend and realize areas for potential growth that you may not have considered.

Summary of the KnowledgeFest Events
KnowledgeFest events focus on three distinct areas of in-vehicle electronics: traditional mobile electronics, connected car technologies and driver safety. The goal is to show and educate the industry on all things related to in-vehicle electronics while having fun and enjoying quality networking.
KnowledgeFest events will highlight up to a 100,000 square foot exhibit area aptly named the "Mobile Electronics Show." The exhibits will focus on showing new and existing products to increase retailer awareness of and educate them on products that are ready to sell and will be available in the near future. All three days will provide a mixture of exhibit hall networking and informative education tracks. Additionally, we offer manufacturer training sessions.
The traditional KnowledgeFest conference is dedicated to education and is separated into three elements, or tracks, and will be held throughout most of the event. These are Installer, Sales and Manager/Owner tracks. Educational tracks generally will include general industry, business, sales and installation topics. Installation track seminars are given by industry leaders and representatives from manufacturers. Sales track seminars generally include representatives from manufacturers, successful retails sales representatives and noted personalities teaching the art of professional sales techniques. Manager/Owner track seminars are taught by leading accomplished industry professionals as well as subject matter experts from outside the industry.
In general, industry experts will be asked to share their tips on topics that represent specialty retailer's and our industry's biggest challenges and opportunities. In addition, Manufacturers will be conducting product training on the latest products. This is manufacturer-sponsored education that seeks to educate attendees on specific products for both sales and technical.
