After months of planning and building, our first-ever virtual Show is about to begin. Starting today, dealers, managers and more can access all the excitement of the Auto Industry Event of the Year right from your home or dealership. Take a minute to review everything planned for Day 1 of NADA Show 2021.
Join us as we welcome all on the Live Stage at 10:30am EST, followed by our Opening General Session on the Main Stage at 11am EST, featuring Mark Wahlberg and Jay Feldman in conversation with NADA Chairman Rhett Ricart, plus tons of education sessions for each dealership department. We’ll showcase thousands of products from more than 240 exhibiting companies at the virtual Expo, and host networking with attendees and exhibitors, contests to win cool prizes, and so much more.
