SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Experian Automotive is presenting a free online seminar next week that will look at how shifting market share, government programs, orphaned brands, continued financial stress and other factors have impacted the auto market.

Officials said the seminar — which will be held at 2 p.m. EST on Jan. 20 — can provide auto industry decision-makers further insight into the trends that significantly affect their operations.
