Farm Equipment Announces Theme of 2026 Dealership Minds Summit

Coming off a challenging year, the strength of laser-focused operations will never be more important to your dealership’s success. Recognizing this, Farm Equipment’s Advisory Boards have stressed the paramount need for a focused forum for ag machinery dealers to share and learn key strategies and tactics to maximize their operations and move the business forward despite the challenges that can be out of their control.

That’s why the 2026 Dealership Minds Summit in Springfield, Ill., will focus on the theme of “Maximizing Operational ROI” equipping you with everything you need to know to magnify your best practices and drive operational excellence in an uncertain market. Join us this summer, Aug. 4-5, for a 2-day dealer-only event that features collaborative learning through focused general session presentations, dealer-to-dealer panel presentations, informal and interactive roundtable discussions and networking. 

"We're excited to return to a theme focused around dealer operations, as it was the focus of the inaugural Dealership Minds Summit in 2013," says Executive Editor Kim Schmidt. "Like all the previous Summits, dealers are sure to leave this year's event with a notebook full of ideas to bring back to their teams."
