DEALER EVOLUTION STAGE
Fasten your helmet for a high-octane, data-fueled exploration of 2025’s most defining shifts and the emerging opportunities that will shape 2026 and beyond. This fast-paced keynote connects the full ecosystem—consumer demand patterns, sales velocity, pricing behavior, inventory tension points, and the macroeconomic forces driving riders, dealers, and manufacturers alike. And, for the first time ever, we’ll debut a new AI-powered insights engine that allows you to ask questions about powersports trends—and get instant, precise answers! You’ll see how AI can transform raw data into strategic advantage and how this new tool empowers leaders to make sharper, faster, and more confident decisions in a rapidly evolving market. This keynote will also serve as a preview for Thursday’s AI Workshop — Breakfast & Bots — and sets the stage for understanding how organizations can bring these capabilities in-house—turning data, analytics, and AI into a true competitive edge.
HANDS-ON WORKSHOP – FREE
THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 9:30am, Room 207C
Fuel your morning with breakfast and a hands-on roadmap for integrating AI into your company with Competitive Analytics.
Building on the momentum and insights revealed during Wednesday’s AI-powered insights engine, Competitive Analytics’ David Savlowitz and Michael Ponton will lead this HANDS-ON workshop and dive deeper and wider into how organizations can architect, scale, and sustain their own AI capabilities.
You will be walked through practical frameworks for identifying high-impact AI use cases, structuring and preparing data assets, assembling the right cross-functional teams, and selecting technologies that can evolve with your organization. You’ll learn how to move from standalone experiments to fully operational AI systems—supported by governance, oversight, and trust-building processes that ensure long-term value. Whether you’re inspired by the transformative possibilities showcased in the Full Throttle Analytics keynote or you’re already advancing toward enterprise-level AI maturity, this session provides a clear, actionable roadmap for building an AI function that delivers real, measurable, and durable impact.
