Keeping spirits bright into the new year! The Minnesota Chauffeured Transportation Association (MCTA) held its holiday reception and get-together on Friday, January 28. Hosted at the Loop Restaurant in St. Louis Park, Minn., the event welcomed members, family, and industry partners for an informal cocktail hour. Despite the delay in celebrating during the holidays, there was no shortage of cheer throughout the reception.

“The last few years have been a struggle for everyone,” said MCTA Staff Member Leslie Rosedahl. “It was our hope that members could connect with each other again and catch up on what’s new for all of us.”
Rosedahl added that it was great to see everyone as the MCTA works to organize for a new 2022.
Plans are underway for the next MCTA meeting later in the year.

As hard as it is to believe, we’re a little more than a month away from the industry event of 2022: the CD/NLA Show in Las Vegas. Held from March 27-30 at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, we have four solid days of education, networking, and fun packed into our schedule, which you can view here.
In addition to the behind-the-scenes work from the CD/NLA team, not to mention our hard-working Show Education Committee, the event would be vastly different without the generous support of all our sponsors, but especially our Title Sponsors. We’re thrilled to announce that Volvo has stepped up to join Ford-Lincoln Livery Vehicles as an official Title Sponsor of the 2022 CD/NLA Show. Visit Ford-Lincoln and Volvo on the show floor, where they’ll be displaying the latest vehicles geared toward our industry’s unique needs.
What’s more, Volvo’s commitment to the show extends even further, as they are the exclusive sponsor of one of the show’s most popular events: the Affiliate Central Global Partner Forum.
Seasoned CD/NLA 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 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 Dallas show, Affiliate Central was positively electric, with hundreds of attendees bouncing from table to table to meet new potential partners.
CD and NLA are thrilled to bring this show favorite back to our show floor to Vegas in what promises to be our most exciting forum yet.
“If you want to network, there is no better opportunity than the Affiliate Central Global Partner Forum in our industry,” said Selim Aslan of Men In Black Transportation.
Scheduled for Tuesday, March 29 at noon, Affiliate Central will feature dozens of operators spanning markets from around the world. Not only is this an incredible opportunity to grow your company’s presence into the global marketplace, but it also gives operators the opportunity to refamiliarize themselves with companies and new faces as we navigate the post-pandemic landscape. Don’t forget to bring those business cards and a killer elevator pitch!
“The Affiliate Central Global Partner Forum is an amazing idea that allows for good conversation and lasting connections,” said Edison Kahakauwila of L.A. Limousines and Transportation Services.
If you’re interested in exhibiting in the forum, a few tables/markets are still available. Just reach out to our Director of Events Jess Pavlow at jess@chauffeurdriven.com for more information on how you can take part.
In the meantime, if you haven’t booked your room at The Paris Hotel, don’t wait any longer. Our room block of $159/night is going quickly. Our host property not only offers outstanding accommodations, convenient restaurants, and a hot location on The Strip, but you’ll also save wear and tear on your feet as all show events are just steps from the elevator doors. No major hikes from the hotel to the show floor! Click here to book your stay and take advantage of our incredible rate.
