UPDATE FROM NADA PRESIDENT AND CEO MIKE STANTON: Day One of NADA Show 2025 is in the books, and wow what an incredible day it was.
As of this evening, a full 70% of our registered attendees and exhibitors are in New Orleans and have picked up their Show credentials. And people are still streaming in.
In fact, the airport was still experiencing delays today, and it was not until earlier this evening that the city’s major throughfares, including Interstate 10, opened up for business.
All of us at NADA are elated, but at the same time we are not shocked. NADA Show is the Industry Event of the Year, and we knew dealers, exhibitors and industry partners were moving heaven and earth to get here as soon as conditions allowed. And get here they did, in amazing numbers. We expect attendance to continue climbing throughout the day tomorrow.
I mentioned yesterday how the entrepreneurial spirt of auto dealers and the incredible dedication of dealer advocates has been on full display this week, and today I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of this phenomenal industry and community.
Every single person who is at Show is a testament to the resiliency and commitment that runs through in our veins, and I can’t begin to express my gratitude to you all.
Have a safe and wonderful evening, and I’m looking forward to seeing all of you – and many new faces – tomorrow and Sunday!
- Mike Stanton
