LGM was proud to be part of the 2026 Automotive Conference & Expo (ACE), connecting with dealers, industry partners and automotive leaders in Niagara Falls.
Held October 15–16 at Fallsview Casino Resort, ACE brought the Canadian automotive industry together for two days of learning, networking and conversations about the opportunities and challenges shaping automotive retail.
This year, LGM’s presence extended beyond the tradeshow floor. From showcasing eMenu and sponsoring the Demo Theatre to sharing dealer-focused insights through workshops and connecting with industry media, our team had several opportunities to contribute to the conversation at ACE.
Bringing our enhanced eMenu to the Demo Theatre
As the exclusive Demo Theatre sponsor, LGM played a prominent role in one of ACE’s showcase sessions.
Christina Walecki, Dealer Development Director, took the stage for “One eMenu. Countless ways to sell”, demonstrating how LGM’s enhanced eMenu can now support hyper-personalized F&I conversations.
The demonstration highlighted eMenu’s hyper-customization capabilities and the flexibility they give Financial Services Managers to tailor the F&I experience to their dealership’s sales process and individual customer needs.
Sharing insights with dealers
On the second day of ACE, Jake Stacey, Executive Vice President, Sales and OEM Performance, led a session focused on important opportunities for today’s dealerships.
In Cracking the Code: Turning Dealer Complexity into Profitability, Jake Stacey explored the pressures affecting dealer profitability and how greater alignment across areas such as F&I, fixed operations, and inventory strategy can help simplify decision-making.
This session gave LGM an opportunity to contribute practical dealer-focused perspectives to broader conversations about profitability, customer experience and long-term growth.
Connecting at Booth 91
ACE was also an opportunity for our LGM and SecureDrive teams to connect directly with dealers and industry partners at Booth 91.
Throughout the event, the booth served as a space for conversations about the challenges facing dealerships, eMenu and the support LGM and SecureDrive bring to the dealer experience.
Extending the conversation
Our ACE participation also created an opportunity to connect with Canadian Auto Dealer. Jake Stacey joined Todd Phillips for an interview at Booth 91, extending LGM’s participation beyond the conference floor and into the broader industry conversation.
ACE 2026 gave us an opportunity to do what we do best: listen to dealers, share practical expertise and strengthen relationships across the Canadian automotive industry.
