Powersports Business has named Lightspeed a 2027 Education Partner for its conference on the Dealer Accelerate Stage at AIMExpo, taking place March 3–5, 2027, in Orlando, Florida.
As part of the partnership, Lightspeed will deliver an exclusive 45-minute educational presentation on the dedicated Dealer Accelerate Stage at AIMExpo. The session will draw on Lightspeed’s extensive experience working with powersports dealerships to share practical insights and strategies for improving operational efficiency, increasing profitability and making smarter business decisions.
The Dealer Accelerate Stage is a new addition to AIMExpo 2027, bringing Powersports Business’ established dealer education programming directly to the industry’s premier powersports tradeshow. The dedicated stage will feature industry experts, business leaders and technology providers sharing actionable ideas and best practices to help dealerships navigate today’s challenges and prepare for future opportunities.
As a provider of dealership management software and technology solutions, Lightspeed helps powersports dealerships manage their full operations by connecting sales, service, inventory, accounting and payments in one integrated system. This connected approach helps dealers streamline operations, strengthen customer relationships and make more informed business decisions.
“Powersports dealers have more data available to them than ever before, but the real opportunity is turning that information into better business decisions,” said Aaron Carver, vice president of data services at Lightspeed. “At Lightspeed, we work with thousands of dealers and see firsthand how the right technology and processes can make a measurable difference in their success. With innovations like our AI Command Center, we’re changing how dealers interact with their data, giving them the ability to ask questions, uncover opportunities and take action in seconds. We’re looking forward to sharing our experience and helping dealers discover new ways to build stronger, more profitable businesses.”
Building on more than 40 years of industry experience, Lightspeed continues to advance dealership technology with innovations such as Lightspeed AI Command Center, an AI-powered analytics solution built directly into Lightspeed DMS. The technology allows dealers to ask questions about their business in everyday language and receive answers, charts, analysis and recommended next steps in seconds. By making dealership data more accessible and actionable, AI Command Center is transforming how dealers uncover opportunities, identify trends and make decisions that drive profitability.
“Education is a critical part of helping powersports dealers navigate an increasingly complex retail environment,” said Brendan Baker, editor-in-chief of Powersports Business. “Lightspeed DMS brings a deep understanding of dealership operations and the technology that supports them. We’re excited to welcome Lightspeed as an education partner and presenter on the Dealer Accelerate Stage, giving dealers access to practical insights they can use to strengthen their businesses.”
