The Automotive Leadership Roundtable has picked the perfect venues for #1 dealers from each brand and industry leaders to grow personally and professionally as they share strategies and best practices for their businesses.

Vizcaya Museum & Gardens

The Automotive Leadership Roundtable will begin its annual 2012 Awards event honoring the industry’s top automotive retailers at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens as attendees are treated to a six-star dinner concert and reception performed by Tony Bennett and other Grammy Award-Winning artists from his Duets I & II albums.

Visited by Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Queen Elizabeth II, Pope John Paul II and many others, the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is one of Miami’s most distinguished landmarks. In its heyday, Vizcaya’s builder American Industrialist James Deering entertained many celebrities and dignitaries such as Marion Davies, Lilian Gish, Thomas Edison, President Warren G. Harding and artist John Singer Sargent.

Deering, a famed conservationist, used the mansion as his winter home from 1916 until his death in 1925. In designing the estate, Deering was inspired by a combination of Veneto and Tuscan Italian Renaissance models which he adapted to Florida’s native ecosystem. The Vizcaya includes elaborate gardens, woodlands, the mansion, museum and village. Its 50 acres sits on Biscayne Bay in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.

Today, Vizcaya is a popular wedding spot and is one of Miami’s most photographed landmarks. The villa serves as a backdrop in many popular films such as Any Given Sunday, Bad Boys II, Ace Ventura – Pet Detective, and many others. One other tidbit that makes for good cocktail conversation – one of the first set of dishes ordered for Vizcaya was lost on the ill-fated Titanic.

About the Versace Mansion

The exclusive Versace Mansion is Ocean Drive’s most infamous residence and provides a magical setting for the 2012 Automotive Leadership Roundtable’s Annual Awards Dinner celebrating the accomplishments of the country’s #1 dealers.

Built in 1930, the house retains most of the original structure with all the charm of the Mediterranean style. In 1992, Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace visited South Beach, saw the home, and fell in love with it. He restored the home to its original glory and brought international celebrities like Elton John and Madonna to party there. After Versace’s death, the 19,000 square foot Rococo beach front villa in the heart of South Beach remained an icon of fascination. The 10-room hotel is modeled on a Roman palazzo filled with fountains, frescoes and stained glass, featuring a pool and terrace tiled in thousands of colorful mosaics and lined in 24k gold.

Dinner attendees will be treated to an extraordinary pre-dinner reception in Versace’s courtyard. As they enter the gorgeous pool terrace, they will be serenaded by the sounds of one of Miami’s smoothest Cuban bands. A six-star dinner awaits followed by a celebratory toast with Louis XIII cognac, decadent desserts, hand-rolled cigars and after-dinner parties in the mansion’s many luxurious suites – a perfect environment for the end of the 2012 Awards Dinner.

Waiters serve champagne to ALr attendees as they enter the Versace Mansion’s courtyard.

ThE MoST ExCLuSiVE SponSorShipS

The reason everyone wants to work with the top dealers in the country is because OEMs and other dealers watch and imitate their best practices, and their thought leadership often shapes the products and services of the companies they work with.

However, it is very difficult to reach this exclusive group of leaders because of their limited time and access. Companies spend a lot of money and time participating in large industry conferences with the hopes of reaching top dealers but many of these leaders don’t have the time to attend long conferences. When they do attend, it is difficult to make a meaningful connection in these crowded environments where dealers often get ‘pitch fatigue’.

The Automotive Leadership Roundtable Sponsorship benefits are:

• The Automotive Leadership Roundtable brings together the perfect audience including the #1 dealers in the world, OEM executives and thought leaders in the industry.

• The leading dealers have the biggest budgets, influence, and impact in the industry and working with them often brings a lot of valuable business from other dealers and OEMs.

• The ALR’s high-impact experiences offer an extraordinary environment for your company executives to connect and build lasting relationships with dealer principals and senior management of the top-selling dealerships in the country, OEM executives and industry thought leaders.

• ALR’s exclusive sponsorship ensures that there are fewer companies competing to reach these top leaders so it is easier to connect with them.

• The 6-star evening events provide the perfect opportunity to connect and build personal relationships with leading dealer and OEM executives.

• The Automotive Leadership Roundtable provides your team with cutting edge information and insights that are provided by the best and brightest leaders in the industry.

• The 24-hour format gives you and the attendees the greatest return on your time by

packing in a lot in a shorter time period.

The cost of delivering these world class experiences are high and are divided among a smaller group of sponsor companies so they are more expensive. However, they deliver the greatest return on investment because you will connect with the top dealers and OEM executives in the industry in more meaningful ways that will result in more business with them long term and the others who follow their lead.

Guests had access to the entire villa throughout the evening, from its lavish historical suites designed by Gianni Versace for guests like Madonna and Elton John, to the rooftop terrace, Moroccan Room, and the famous Versace Lounge. “I’ve got 25 years in the business,” said Ken Hicks, general manager of Westchester Acura. “It was an enlightening day, and it just shows that every day you can learn something new. And the Awards Dinner was first class – a great example of how we should be treating our clients.”
