VINCUE Takes the Stage at the 2026 Automotive AI Summit
This year, VINCUE joins the 2026 Automotive AI Summit as a speaker and sponsor, our first time in this room, and exactly the room we’ve been building for.
On September 24 at 12:00 PM ET, President & Co-Founder Danny Zaslavsky will lead a session titled “Show Me the Money: A Dealer’s Guide to AI ROI,” built around VINCUE.AI, the inventory intelligence engine we revealed at VINCUE NEXT26. And he won’t do it alone. Joining him on stage is Brian Benstock, Partner & General Manager of Paragon Honda and Paragon Acura, and Dealer Principal at White Plains Honda, a dealer running full force on AI right now, in the real world, on real numbers.
Why this room
The Automotive AI Summit isn’t a trade show. It’s a one-day working conference for dealer principals, GMs, and fixed ops leaders making real AI decisions across sales, service, data, marketing, and operations. Hosted by Dave Foy at the MIT Museum, it runs on a simple filter: no vendor pitches, no theory, just practical answers.
That’s exactly the room we want to be in. Because that’s how we build.
VINCUE has never been the safe, sit-and-watch option in this industry. We build for the dealers challenging how retail is supposed to work, the ones who’d rather move first than wait for permission. A summit full of operators making hard AI calls, inside one of the most consequential rooms in American innovation, is where that conversation belongs.
Inside the session: “Show Me the Money”
AI is easy to buy and hard to prove. Every dealer has heard the pitch. Far fewer can point to the line on the statement where it actually paid off.
That’s the whole point of “Show Me the Money: A Dealer’s Guide to AI ROI.” Danny and Brian skip the hype and get to the number, where AI actually returns money in a dealership, how to measure it, and how VINCUE.AI turns the inventory data you already own into decisions that show up in gross, turn, and time-to-line. Brian Benstock will show what that looks like when a dealer stops experimenting with AI and starts running on it, on real numbers.
Why we’re grateful to be here
We don’t take a spot on this stage lightly. Being invited to speak, and to sponsor, alongside a room of operators this serious is a real one. Thank you to Dave Foy and the Automotive AI Summit team for building a room worth traveling for, and for keeping the bar exactly where it should be: real decisions, real dealers.

Launched VINCUE a couple months ago for our dealership as we were previously on vAuto. We love the pricing, software, and the support team is engaging with a lot of new features coming. It was a GREAT decision to switch from vAuto to VINCUE and we are very happy with the new software and support team.

New to the VINCUE family, and I’m very impressed with the immediate support provided by the team. Charlie Basham has been a key factor in getting the dealership started on a great path with the VINCUE system. He has been very responsive to my questions and has made sure I can navigate the key reports and understand the process used. Cheyenne Currier has also been very responsive with merchandising uploads needed by the dealership. I look forward to working with the VINCUE Team in the future.

Was previously with another provider for 16 years but now have been with VINCUE for 6 months and I absolutely love it and would never go back to my old provider. Even if you’re not considering making any changes right now, this is one I would look into and you won’t regret it! What I realized is how behind the times my previous provider is and I didn’t even realize it until I learned about VINCUE!
