-
Return to Dallas in 2027: Following the event's growing momentum, the 2027 conference is officially scheduled for March 8–10, 2027, in Dallas, Texas.

The Automotive Remarketing Alliance (ARA) and the National Auto Auction Association (NAAA) announced that the 2027 Spring Remarketing Exchange (SRE) will take place March 8–10, 2027, in Dallas, Texas.
Now entering its second year, the SRE represents a true partnership between ARA and NAAA, bringing together all players in the industry for a unified, high-impact event designed to strengthen collaboration across the vehicle remarketing ecosystem.
The inaugural SRE set a strong foundation for this collaboration, drawing a highly engaged audience of consignors, auctions, and service providers and generating meaningful dialogue. Attendees praised the event’s unique structure and its ability to foster connections and conversations that do not typically happen in more traditional, single-organization settings.
Building on that momentum, SRE continues to break new ground as the only conference jointly developed and delivered by the leadership of both organizations.
“The Spring Remarketing Exchange is more than just a conference, it’s a reflection of what’s possible when our organizations align around the future of the industry,” said Mark Coleman, Executive Director of ARA. “ARA and NAAA have created a platform where consignors, auctions, and service providers come together with a shared purpose: driving innovation and improving outcomes across remarketing.”
The 2027 Spring Remarketing Exchange will once again feature:
- Jointly curated educational sessions addressing market trends and operational excellence.
- High-value networking opportunities among auctions, consignors, and service providers.
- Collaborative discussion forums designed to encourage open dialogue across industry segments.
“From the very beginning, SRE has been about partnership,” added Paul Lips, Executive Director of NAAA. “This is not an ARA event or an NAAA event, it is a joint experience, built collaboratively to deliver value for the entire industry. We’re proud to continue growing this event together.”
More details on registration, agenda, and sponsorship opportunities will be announced in the coming months.
