THIS IS IMPORTANT - READ IT TWICE

For those who have not completed their Online Company Profile, you are unintentionally limiting your brand's exposure and your organization's ability to achieve a positive outcome. If you are serious about succeeding as an NADA exhibitor, this is something you can't afford to ignore. Follow the step-by-step instructions below to get your company noticed at the NADA Show. You won't regret it.

Step 1 - Log in and click on Exhibitor Directory Listing. Make any necessary updates or changes to your company information, add your social media links and add your company/product description. Then choose the product category (or categories) that best represents your company's brand.

Step 2 - Click on Upload your Company Logo to add your logo to your exhibitor listing.

We are committed to helping our exhibit partners utilize the available opportunities NADA offers to help them be successful and have a positive experience at NADA Show 2024. We are here to walk you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

The final payment for booth space is due on Wednesday, November 15, 2023. To avoid cancellation, be sure your payment arrives no later than November 15.

EXHIBITOR PITCH COMPETITION

The deadline to submit your audio file for the Exhibitor Pitch Competition is next Friday November 17th!

A reminder that entering the competition is free and submitting an audio file does not guarantee that you will be selected as one of the finalists who will compete for the Grand Prize. Exhibitors must submit a one-minute audio file that teases their product or service, their overall pitch strategy and what the audience can expect from their pitch.

Entrants will be informed if they have been selected as finalists on or about Dec. 1.

The Grand Prize winner will receive a 20-minute time slot to make a longer pitch on the Live Stage later during NADA Show 2024. The winner also will get editorial and social media coverage on NADA’s digital platforms, bragging rights and the first trophy in what we hope will become a recurring event for years to come.

SCAM ALERTS

HOTEL SCAMMERS: NADA has contracted with Maritz to be the official housing company for the NADA Show 2024. Maritz is the only company that can provide special exhibitor housing rates negotiated by NADA at official NADA hotels. Other housing companies or travel agencies may offer to book your guest rooms through their company during the NADA Show 2024 but they are not affiliated with or otherwise connected to NADA. Beware of scammers!

SHOW LIST SCAMMERS: NADA Exhibitors are also frequently targeted by companies unaffiliated with NADA, offering attendee lists from the "NADA Show 2024" and/or variations on the NADA name or logo. Please be aware that these companies have nothing to do with NADA or the NADA Show. The attendee mailing lists for the show are only available directly from NADA and all confirmed exhibitors have access to those lists. Beware of scammers!

OTHER SCAMMERS: Be aware of email or other communications from vendors and contractors offering assistance in the host city. These communications may wrongly suggest that the company is endorsed by or connected with NADA. Please use caution when dealing with solicitations from companies that are not on the list of Official NADA Contractors.

We recommend that companies do not respond to email or phone communications from non-MARITZ or NADA reps regarding hotel bookings or show lists.
