"The Innovation Cup Award represents one of the highest accolades our industry has to offer its dealership solution providers: the vote of those who understand its benefits the most—auto dealers," said DrivingSales Founder and CEO Jared Hamilton. "We congratulate DealerSocket on being named a finalist for The Innovation Cup Award from a field of outstanding applicants and look forward to sharing Enterprise Dashboard Reporting's progressive solution with attendees at the DrivingSales Executive Summit."

Focused on providing the most relevant profit-building information to help auto dealers formulate their business plans for the following year, the DrivingSales Executive Summit includes three days of collaboration and fresh, leading-edge information from special-topic breakouts, expert panels, dealer and vendor contests, and world-renowned speakers.  The DSES is 100% dealer driven and designed specifically for the most advanced dealer principals and dealership executives in the industry.
