PALM BEACH, Fla. , September 15, 2026 -- Automotive marketing veteran, author, and TEDx speaker makes his MRC debut as MC and joins the conference team to help elevate the attendee experience
Pasch Group, the automotive consulting, research, and education company behind the Modern Retailing Conference (MRC), today announced that Dan Moore, CEO of Drivvr AI, author, and TEDx speaker, will make his debut as Master of Ceremonies at MRC 2026, taking place November 15-17 at the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa. In addition to hosting the main stage, Moore is joining the MRC conference team to help shape and elevate the overall attendee experience.
MRC brings together more than 60 speakers, 30-plus sessions, and hundreds of dealers, OEM leaders, and industry partners for three days focused on sales process, customer experience, first-party data, AI and automation, retention, and communication.
"Dan has spent more than 25 years in the trenches of automotive retail. He understands this industry, and he knows how to engage people," said Brian Pasch, founder of Pasch Group. "He's an operator, a builder, and someone who has helped companies grow through real exits. He also has a rare gift for designing experiences. Everywhere Dan goes, he finds a way to make the room feel different, and that's exactly what we want at our conferences. Bringing him on as MC and as part of our conference team means the energy, the pacing, and the conversations will be sharper than ever, and attendees are going to feel it from the moment they arrive."
Moore brings more than 25 years of automotive digital marketing and agency experience to the role. He previously helped build VistaDash through two successful exits and today leads Drivvr AI, an Anshar Labs company, a digital agency and SaaS provider serving automotive retailers. He also serves on the board of Dealer Funnel, and is a TEDx speaker and author whose first book, Do Moore, Get More: The Road to You, focuses on leadership, purpose, and doing the work that matters.
"MRC has always been the room where the smartest people in this business go to sharpen their thinking," said Moore. "I'm honored to host it, and even more excited to help the team build the full experience. The best events aren't just about what you learn. They're about what you see, feel, and remember long after you leave. That's the standard we're building toward, and we'll have more announcements at MRC that I think people are going to be excited about."
The 2026 program also features new additions including the Built on the Lot AI Showdown, which awards $5,000 to the best dealership-built AI solution, the AutoTech Founders Lab, curated networking activities, and an interactive mobile app. Dealer tickets start at $595.

The appeal of a good knit is often immediate, from the softness against the skin to the reassuring volume and warmth. At 45R, those qualities begin well before a garment takes shape. The Japanese label’s latest selection puts the making process in focus, bringing together airy merino, characterful Shetland wool and the flecked textures of Donegal tweed. Founded in Tokyo in 1977, 45R approaches clothing through monozukuri, or the “art of making”, a philosophy centred on respect for craft and...

At 22, Luca Yang was running a small teaching company in New Zealand after quitting a six-figure finance job that he hated. It had humble beginnings, where he tutored English online for A$25 (US$17.55) per hour just to get by. When one of his students got into Oxford, word spread: one student became 50, then 500. By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
