Celebrating a new year serves as a time for reflection . It ’ s a time allotted for remembering the past while also looking forward to the future . And every once in a while , there comes a year that marks an anniversary . 2017 happens to be one of those years for NATDA . This year , we reflect on the blessings this industry has provided in years past and eagerly await those of the future . The 2017 NATDA Trade Show & Convention marks the 10th annual trade show put on by this association . As humbled as we are , we are excited , motivated , and ready to put on our greatest show to date .
The 10th annual trade show will take place September 7th through 9th in Indianapolis . It seems as though this date cannot come fast enough ! Planning is already well underway . NATDA is working hard to finalize weekend events . Our plan is to honor all alumni who have been loyal supporters of the trade show since its inception . It is because of you that our trade show has continued to grow and we are forever grateful for your continued support !
We would also like to take the time to make a special announcement for dealers ! The FREE Dealer Education will be held on Thursday , September 7th and for the first time will be a full-day from the hours of 8am to 5pm . This will include our new hands on technical service and management training . Be certain to follow us on social media and sign-up to receive our newsletter for more details .
I ’ ve always been told that a new year is simply an opportunity to begin again , this time more intelligently . The encouragement of a new year , along with your suggestions , helps us to orchestrate another successful trade show more intelligently . Likewise , we hope that the new year inspires your dealership to rev up your engine !
