NADA Announces New Dates for 2015–2018 Conventions
Mark your calendars: Four-day annual NADA and ATD conventions to run Thursday to Sunday starting in 2015.
McLEAN, Va. — Beginning in 2015, the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention and Expo will be held Thursday to Sunday instead of Friday to Monday.
“After surveying the membership and exhibitors, the consensus was to end the convention on Sunday, instead of Monday,” said Desmond Roberts, chairman of NADA’s Convention Committee and a Chevrolet dealer in Hodgkins, Ill. “The Thursday to Sunday timeframe will allow convention attendees to be back at work earlier the following week.”
For more than 40 years, the NADA convention has been held Friday to Monday. The 2014 NADA and American Truck Dealers (ATD) conventions will be held concurrently in New Orleans from Friday, Jan. 24, to Monday, Jan. 27.
The following are the revised dates for the 2015-2018 events:
2015: San Francisco (Jan. 22-25)
2016: Las Vegas (March 31-April 3)
2017: New Orleans (Jan. 26-29)
2018: Las Vegas (March 22-25)
