Summer is approaching its end, and fall will be here before you know it, which means it’s time for the upcoming CD/NLA Show! This year, we’re thrilled to bring our annual event to the Gaylord National just outside of Washington, D.C., from October 13-16. Now is the time to take advantage of our Early Bird Rate that lets you save $74 on your registration. Register before September 6 to receive a show pass for just $475. But wait! NLA members are entitled to additional savings, making it only $399—that includes our education, meetings, two open-bar parties, three breakfasts, and two lunches on our bustling show floor. What’s more, we have a room block at the Gaylord National at the incredible rate of $259 a night, which beats even the heavily discounted travel websites. However, these rooms are going quickly—don’t miss out on your chance to book your getaway at these low prices.


Seasoned show attendees know that the Affiliate Central Global Partner Forum is a perennial hit, and one of the most popular and well-received events at any of our shows. Operators from around the globe literally line up to be the first to have valuable one-on-one time with owners, affiliate managers, and key decision-makers from all major markets, both in the US and internationally. At our Vegas show this past spring, the Affiliate Central was positively electric, with 103 tables and more than 1,000 attendees bouncing from table to table to meet new potential partners.
“Participating in Affiliate Central has significantly expanded our network, fostering numerous partnership opportunities worldwide,” says Andrew Tighe of RMA Worldwide.

Scheduled for Tuesday, October 15 at 12:15 p.m., Affiliate Central—again sponsored by our friends at Volvo—is expected to feature dozens of companies representing North America and countries from around the world. This is an incredible opportunity to expand your company’s presence in the global marketplace. As the industry continues to evolve with new operators and markets, the significance of fostering a robust roster of trusted affiliates cannot be overstated. That's why this event is precisely designed to facilitate networking opportunities with fellow operators who share your vision and are ready to handle the needs of all your VIPs. Don't miss the chance to join forces, forge valuable partnerships, and engage in fruitful business exchanges.

“While I find all aspects of the show to be beneficial, we especially enjoy Affiliate Central as it has allowed us to expand our worldwide network by meeting potential affiliates in person,” says Harry Dhillon of Ecko Worldwide.
You won’t want to forget to bring those business cards and a killer elevator pitch! If you’re interested in exhibiting in the forum, several tables/markets are still available. Contact Director of Events Jess Pavlow at jess@chauffeurdriven.com for more information.
