Las Vegas is calling once again as Chauffeur Driven (CD) and the National Limousine Association (NLA) bring the 2026 CD/NLA Show back to the MGM Grand from March 1-3. Momentum for this year’s event is undeniable, and all signs point to the largest and most internationally diverse CD/NLA Show yet—and a nearly sold-out floor to boot.
With early registration trending strong and industry buzz building worldwide, Vegas is quickly becoming a can’t-miss gathering for operators, vendors, and suppliers alike. The CD/NLA Show has earned its reputation as the industry’s premier event because it delivers on what matters most: actionable education, meaningful connections, and access to the tools that help businesses grow.
Attendees can expect a truly international mix of operators eager to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and explore new revenue opportunities. The show floor—we’ve maximized every square inch—is brimming with a wide range of vendors, OEMs, technology companies, and suppliers, along with an impressive display of vans, Sprinters, buses, and motorcoaches from leading dealers and manufacturers.
However, education remains the building block of the CD/NLA Show. Under the leadership of CD/NLA Show Education Committee co-chairs Jason Sharenow of Broadway Elite Worldwide and Karl Guenther of Statement Limousine, this year’s programming (sponsored by the Hoffmann Family of Companies) is being crafted with one goal in mind: delivering content operators can immediately put to work.
Across nine targeted sessions and roundtables, attendees will dive into the most pressing topics facing today’s leaders—from operations and leadership to technology and long-term strategy. We dive deep with sessions devoted to the rise of autonomous vehicles and AI tools you can use now; how to capture bleisure business; managing growth smartly while reining in risks; the hallmarks of being a good affiliate partner; and even a seminar focused on honing skills and training the modern chauffeur.
Keynote Speaker Jason Dorsey While education draws attendees to the show, it’s the networking that keeps them coming back year after year. If this is your first CD/NLA show, welcome! We invite you to attend our First-Timers’ Event, which is designed to help newcomers like you hit the ground running by pairing you with experienced industry professionals who can offer guidance on sessions, networking, making a good first impression, and maximizing the overall show experience. Many long-term business relationships—and friendships—begin right here.
“This was our first time attending and exhibiting at the CD/NLA Show, and I must say, wow—what an incredible experience! The attendance was through the roof, and everyone was so welcoming, creating a great sense of community throughout the event. From world-class seminars to endless networking opportunities, it truly made for a successful and unforgettable experience,” says Jason Ipekdjian of Belgraves of London.
Regardless of whether you’re a newbie or a consummate pro, put those networking skills to the test with our Affiliate Central Global Partner Forum where more than 100 companies are expected to host networking tables. For many attendees, the always-packed Affiliate Central alone makes the trip worthwhile. If freeform networking is more your speed, our popular International Meet & Greet is also making a return, sponsored by Cardel Group, Global Alliance, Mimo Limousine, and VanDelden Limousine. And with such a cadre of international registrations this year, we know it will be THE event to connect you to the worldwide community. And ladies, don’t forget about our Women in the Industry luncheon, which will take place on Monday afternoon.
“The show is a great way to meet our affiliates and learn something in the process. The roundtable discussions are a great way to force the introvert in me to actually speak to folks instead of just listening,” says Gary LeCamu of Diamond Chauffeured Transportation.
We think a little inspiration across the industry is needed, so we’re thrilled to present renowned researcher and best-selling author Jason Dorsey as the speaker for Monday’s Keynote. Dorsey’s passion lies in uncovering hidden insights and developing strategies that help future-proof organizations. His mission is to unlock the potential of leaders and teams through original research, unexpected strategy, and innovation. Dorsey is an esteemed thinker and forecaster with an eye on global revolution. If you’re looking for guidance on navigating your business in 2026, you won’t want to miss this.
Speaking of inspiration, we’ve been cooking up a bit of it ourselves with a debut program we’re calling CD Presents: Legends & Origin Stories. Our industry is chockful of wildly fascinating people who contain multitudes—in other words, they are way more than just their business—so we invite you to witness the intimate one-on-one conversation hosted by CD President Chris Weiss. For our inaugural session, we have none other than Dawson Rutter of Commonwealth Worldwide, who never fails at imparting wisdom and sharing entertaining anecdotes from his life well lived.
Vegas wouldn’t be Vegas without unforgettable evenings. The show kicks off with a Sunday Night Opening Reception, sponsored by Ultimate Toys, where the exhibit hall goes full vintage Vegas with Rat Pack-style cool, classic lounge vibes. Sip drinks from our open bar, grab some appetizers, stroll, and socialize as you mix with vendors and fellow attendees and discover what’s new. (If the Rat Pack is your style, we’re heading to their former Miami hangout, the Fontainebleau, this June 14-17 for the CD/NLA Executive Retreat.)
Our final night comes alive in true Vegas fashion as we head to Hakkasan (inside the MGM Grand). Hosted with the support of Black Swan Executive Chauffeurs and Reseau Chauffeured Transportation, this exclusive experience gives attendees access to a private section of the nightclub while a DJ helps everyone to let loose and lean into the Vegas after-dark feeling. Whether you’re there to mix and mingle or move to the music, this is where the show wraps with style, sound, and a little signature Sin City sparkle.
“This was probably the best show we have attended. A great variety of speakers and events, a packed show floor, and an incredible participation by the international attendees. We couldn’t be happier,” says Yasmin Zafar of GRiDD Technologies/GNet. If you’re ready to sharpen your skills, strengthen your network, and reconnect with the global chauffeured transportation community, there’s only one destination for all of it this March. Book your room at the MGM Grand at the special show rate (average nightly rate is $183/night), secure your spot, and get ready for an experience that delivers long after you return home. Registration is always open at cdnlavegas.com. And before you go, be sure to download the free CD/NLA Show app, sponsored by North Point Global Transportation Services, from your favorite app store.
