CD’s Industry & Brand Ambassador Philip Jagiela and Business Development Manager Rickie Roberts were among those who attended the first-time event, and represented Chauffeur Driven at its vendor station.

The day kicked off with an Executive Board meeting to discuss association matters before launching into a meeting packed with information benefiting all attendees. With more than a dozen vendors showcasing their services, products, and vehicles, the event also included a four-person panel discussion with Richard Ackerman of P.A. Post Agency, LANJ Second Vice President Jeff Brodsly of Chosen Payments, Mark Leddy of Cadillac Professional Vehicles (also the main event sponsor), and Chris McCrae of Karhoo. LANJ President Jason Sharenow of Broadway Elite Chauffeured Services Worldwide moderated the panel, which occupied much of the event and allowed each panelist to speak to their strengths and offer advice according to their areas of expertise.
