“Karmak isn’t just a vendor to us, they're a true partner. We’ve grown alongside the product through multiple iterations, and the relationship has only strengthened over time.”

President and Dealer Principal
K. Neal Truck and Bus Center
“We’ve challenged and changed almost every major vendor relationship in our business over the years, but never Karmak. The partnership runs deep. The product works, the people show up, and when something goes wrong, you know exactly who you want on the other end of the phone. That kind of trust is rare, and it’s why we don’t even shop other systems.”

“Karmak cares about your success more than anyone else. As a customer, you are not just a number. The software is great and the built-in ‘checks & balances’ keeps you on the straight and narrow.”

FAQs

What is the Karmak Conference?

The Karmak Conference is an in-person event bringing together heavy-duty dealers, partners, and industry leaders to share insights, product updates, and best practices around running and scaling modern operations.

Who should attend?

The conference is designed for dealership owners, general managers, parts, service, accounting, and operations leaders — as well as anyone involved in decision-making or day-to-day workflows.

Is this event only for current Karmak customers and partners?

No. While current customers will get the most out of certain sessions, the conference is open to anyone interested in learning more about Karmak solutions and industry trends.

What can I expect from the agenda?

The agenda will include a mix of product updates, customer stories, industry insights, hands-on workshops, and practical sessions focused on real operational challenges. A detailed agenda will be shared closer to the event.

Where and when will the conference take place?

The conference will take place at Union Station Hotel in St. Louis Missouri October 20-22, 2026. Full venue and logistics details will be shared after registration.

Who can I contact if I have questions?

If you have any questions before registering, feel free to reach out to us at conference@kamark.com or contact your client success manager.

Will I have access to Karmak leadership?

Yes. A key differentiator of the Karmak conference is the accessibility of the executive team. Leadership, including the CEO, is highly visible, often walking the floor to shake hands, listen to feedback, and engage directly with attendees rather than staying behind the scenes.

What types of learning sessions are available?

Beyond general sessions, the conference features instructor-led classes, roundtables for peer-to-peer learning, and panels. There are also hands-on opportunities, such as computer labs where attendees can sit at screens to walk through new portals and updates.

Will Karmak partners and vendors be present?

Yes. The conference features a wide array of partners and vendors with cutting-edge technology. You will have the opportunity to network with them, visit their booths, and discuss how their solutions integrate with the Karmak ecosystem.

Is there a social or networking component?

Absolutely. The conference is often described as having a "family reunion" atmosphere where attendees can reconnect with friends and peers. Evening receptions are a highlight, known for being fun and engaging—past events have even included mechanical sharks and bulls—providing a relaxed environment to build relationships.

Can I learn from other customers?

Yes. Many attendees find immense value in the "hallway conversations" and networking events where they can compare notes, discuss industry challenges, and share best practices with peers who face similar operational issues.
