NADA Show has topped the charts again in the annual Trade Show Executive Gold 100 list, which recognizes the 100 largest trade shows in the U.S. NADA Show 2023, hosted in Dallas, ranked #41.
The Gold 100 are ranked by net square feet of paid exhibit space. The 2023 NADA Show in Dallas featured more than 500 exhibiting companies in 700,000 square feet of exhibition space – that’s nearly 11 football fields.
The Trade Show Executive Gold list began in 2008, recognizing 2007 shows. Of the 16 lists they have featured, NADA Show has ranked 15 times. (The outlier was the virtual 2021 Expo during the COVID-19 pandemic.)
“The NADA Show is known in our industry and beyond as the Auto Industry Event of the Year,” says Melissa Wolpert, senior vice president of meetings, conventions and expositions at NADA. “The Show is an opportunity for all automotive retail professionals to gather, learn and innovate together. The Expo is a huge part of the success of our annual event.”
NADA Expo is the auto industry’s premier marketplace, a one-stop-shop for anything and everything in the automotive retail world. NADA members and Show attendees can engage with current vendors or shop for new suppliers. Exhibitors range from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups, all with services and technologies designed to boost dealership success.
“We have an incredible team that works hard to ensure we continue to improve upon on our success,” says Wolpert. “We cannot wait to see everyone again at NADA Show 2025 in New Orleans.”
The 2025 NADA Show has once again sold out the Expo with 493 companies (and 115 more on the wait list). This year’s Expo floor will include 800,000 square feet of marketplace – that’s triple the size of the Superdome.
NADA Show 2025 will also include more than 80 education workshops, the ever-popular Dealer Learning Lab in the Expo hall, and two Super Sessions. The Main Stage will feature executive coach Ryan Leak, comedian Frank Caliendo and basketball legend Coach K.
The 2025 NADA Show will take place January 23 to 26. The Expo will be open starting on Friday, January 24. Visit NADAshow.org to learn more and register today.
