The event kicks off at 9:00 a.m., with buses departing from a conveniently located hotel near the convention center area (specific hotel details to be announced closer to the event).

In addition to the educational tours, your event registration includes comfortable bus transportation between sites and a sumptuous lunch at Martin’s BBQ, a Nashville favorite renowned for its authentic flavors and welcoming atmosphere. This meal is not just a break in the day; it's a chance to connect with fellow car wash professionals, share insights, and kickstart The Car Wash Show's opening celebration in true Nashville style.

Expect to return from this immersive experience between 11:30 a.m. and noon, though please note that return times may vary slightly due to traffic and other logistical considerations. This ensures you have ample time to join us at the Kickoff Kickback at The Underground, a WCA evening reception. 

*Cancellations must be received in writing by the WCA office by Wednesday, May 8th in order to receive a refund. You may send an associate to take your place if a cancellation has not been made. "No Shows” will be billed if cancellations are not received.

COURSE OUTLINE:

	Introduction / Transition to Leadership May 21, 2024 - 11am PST   The first week sets the tone for the course by laying out learning objectives, setting expectations for participation, and introducing the facilitator before diving right into the course content. Distinguish between leadership and management, identify common challenges, discuss solutions, and understand how to begin the transition from support staff into a leadership role.
	Teamwork, Collaboration, Building Trust and Respect May 28, 2024 - 11am PST   A cohesive team gets results. A united team comes from carefully creating an organizational culture that empowers employees to do their best work. This is not about free coffee and the occasional box of donuts for the early risers. This is about understanding motivating factors, establishing trust, and staging out team development.
	Coaching for Performance June 4, 2024 - 11am PST   What makes an effective coach? What is the framework for having coaching conversations with your team, and how do you apply it to real-life situations. Uncover the characteristics and roles of effective coaches. Who knows, after this session you may become the next Ted Lasso.
	Developing Others June 11, 2024 – 11am PST    Have you ever seen a member of your team do subpar work and decide “If a job is going to get done right, I have to do it myself.” This may work in the short-term but sets up long-term problems with an unsustainable workload while your workforce becomes less empowered and less accountable. This meeting discusses key components of developing others including communication, performance management, and delegation.
	Meetings That Get Results June 18, 2024 – 11am PST   Ever been in a meeting that seems to go on forever but ends without any clear direction forward? Effective meetings are not an accident. Managers who bring the best out of their employees and achieve results know how to use a meeting to bring the team together and motivate for success.
	Goal Setting June 25, 2024 – 11am PST   You have the tools to lead your team, but where do you go? Uncover how to create a clear path forward for your team with intentional goal setting that will set you and your team up for long-term success.

Dive into the practicalities and strategies behind membership models that make sense in both the Self-Serve and In-Bay Automatic world.

We will discuss the impact of premium chemicals, and discuss location expansion to enhance customer loyalty and operational efficiency.

Engage with leading vendors who provide these services, and connect with fellow operators to get their perspectives on what has worked (and what hasn't) on product packaging/bundles, and integration of technology as it relates to membership programs and more.

This interactive session will be full of Q&A for both vendors and operators alike, truly aiming to replicate the town hall feeling that provides opportunity for effective exchange of insights and strategies that drive value at your location.
