Today, 25% of consumers report they are extremely likely to purchase a vehicle online. By 2025, TrueCar predicts that number to grow to more than 40% of consumers completing a portion of their purchase online. How will the industry respond to this transformative shift in buying habits? How does this impact today’s dealer-based delivery model?

TrueCar President and CEO Mike Darrow will provide an authoritative look at the future of car buying and how the industry is transforming to meet growing consumer digital purchasing demands - providing a glimpse into the future of digital consumerism in the automotive industry.

• Who are the players now and in the future?
• How do current digital platforms differ?
• Where are the opportunities as the trend continues to grow?

All Wayne State University students are welcome to attend this free event.
