‘Not Optional’: Reahard to Challenge Agent Value Proposition in AIDAC Workshop

Jun. 25, 2026 | |

Famed F&I trainer Ron Reahard will challenge agents to reexamine and reframe their agency’s value proposition in the AI age in a workshop at the inaugural AI Dealer Agent Conference, organizers announced.

“Artificial intelligence is transforming the world and our industry,” says Reahard, the founder of Reahard & Associates and a member of the F&I Hall of Fame. “Every agent needs to seize this opportunity to empower their dealers, elevate the customer experience, and increase their value. Adapting to this new landscape is not optional — it’s a necessity!”

The three-day event kicks off on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center in Midtown Atlanta. Reahard’s workshop, “Supporting Dealer Clients — What Are You Bringing?,” will begin at 10:05 a.m. the following day.

Reahard’s objective is to arm agents with a five-point plan to leverage newly available AI-powered insights to transform the F&I process to the benefit of agents, dealers and car buyers.

“We could not have asked for a better speaker than Ron to help agents connect F&I training with AI,” says publisher and show chair David Gesualdo. “He is living proof that we can embrace technology without losing the passion we share for the hard but rewarding work of protecting customers.”
