With the CD/NLA Executive Retreat in our rear-view mirror, our headlights are shining on the next highly anticipated event: the CD/NLA Fall Show in National Harbor on October 25-27. We’re looking forward to returning to the Gaylord National—one of the industry’s favorite host properties—during an exciting time in the Washington, D.C. area as we celebrate our country's 250th anniversary. REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN for the event, and our early-bird special is in full effect. From now until September 10, a full show pass is just $525.00, a full $150 off our onsite rate. But wait, NLA members can save $76 and take part for only $449. Click here to register today!
As the premier industry event of the season, the CD/NLA Fall Show brings a ton of value with each registration. And this is no more evident than through a quick peek at our show schedule.
In addition to having ten educational sessions over the course of three days (courtesy of the CD/NLA Shiw Educational Committee), we are pleased to offer up some amazing content that is sure to provide ROI and spawn ideas. Attendees can look forward to the always-engaging events like the State of the Industry discussion as well as the Women in the Industry breakfast. Of course, everyone loves our dedicated networking opportunities. On Sunday afternoon, you won’t want to miss our Operator Mentoring Program, which allows you to join a small group of operators to get face-to-face professional advice from an industry leader. Each year, this is among our most popular events as both novice and veteran owners gain wisdom and share best practices. Remember, pre-registration is required! The full roster of mentors will be announced in next week’s e-news. Stay tuned,
“My experience at the mentor table was phenomenal. The mentors gave me the targeted advice that I needed in order to scale up my chauffeur service to the next level,” says Tamara Fitzgerald of AET Transportation.
Another industry favorite comes to the show on Tuesday afternoon. Attendees can gain facetime with operators from all over the world at our jam-packed Affiliate Central Global Partner Forum. This electric event brings the industry together to connect, collaborate, and exchange business. Whether you’re building new relationships or strengthening existing ones, this is one networking event you won’t want to miss. If you’re interested in reserving a table to give prospective affiliate partners a place to meet your team, learn about your business and market, and explore partnership opportunities firsthand, contact our Show Director Jess Pavlow at 856.452.0323 or
“Not only an incredible learning experience, but an invaluable professional networking opportunity. We walk away every time with a renewed spirit and focused heart to serve our clients at a higher level,” says Richard and Wanda Van Dyke of Ambassador City Chauffeurs.
In addition to our daytime activities, we’ve got your Sunday and Monday evenings planned as well. On Sunday night, we’ll offer a preview of our dynamic show floor for our Opening Night Party, while Monday night will see the return of our acclaimed Casino Night Party. These open bar events offer plenty of networking opportunities for industry professionals. More details will come in the coming weeks.
“This was a great show with excellent networking and informative sessions. Casino Night was amazing and an excellent way to network and bond with industry peers,” says Darren Croasdale of La Costa Limousine.
“I had a blast at the Gaylord National show! It was great to hear from new speakers and get some fresh perspectives. The Casino Night party was a total hit—it was packed and super fun!” says Kirk Bagger of Captains Car Service.
