One of the highlights of last year’s CD/NLA Show in Vegas was our first-ever CD Advertiser Meet & Greet that saw our incredible supporters mingle with a who’s who of the industry. This year, the highly anticipated event returns ... even bigger. After the show floor closes on Tuesday, CD advertisers are invited to our exclusive, invitation-only cocktail hour event, sponsored by GNet. Whether you’re an advertiser online, in our e-news, or in the pages of CD magazine, you’re welcome to attend. Presented in a casual atmosphere, the CD Advertiser Meet & Greet gives you the opportunity to network with new and old friends as well as several special guests from the biggest networks and companies in chauffeured transportation, who will be there to meet like-minded operators and make fresh connections—as well as share their knowledge. This special event will give our advertisers a unique chance to rub elbows, swap ideas, and perhaps even have an adult beverage with some of the most influential players in this space.
“We received such terrific feedback from advertisers about our debut event at the last Vegas Show, that we decided to make it even better this year with the addition of CD contributors and experts,” says CD President Chris Weiss.
At this exclusive get-together, we’re proud to include representatives and decision-makers from EmpireCLS Worldwide, RMA Worldwide, Dav El/BostonCoach, Commonwealth Worldwide, Carey, Hoffmann Family of Companies, Leros Transportation Group, Music Express, BLS, and Fortis. These large operators are equally excited about the opportunity to meet new faces away from the hustle-and-bustle of the show.
What’s more, this year, you’ll have the chance to meet and engage with the contributors to the magazine. In addition to the CD editorial team, we’re pleased to present columnists and industry experts James Blain of PAX Training, Matt Daus of Windels Marx, Mark Kini of Boston Chauffeur, Ken Lucci of Driving Transactions, Joe Guinn of Limo & Bus Compliance, Tom Holden of Transportation Advisors, Jeff Shanker of Black Tie Transportation, Phil Shetsen of Bona Vita Benefits, and Mike Zappone of EOS/Leros Transportation Group. Each will be on-hand to answer questions, give advice, or just talk shop.
If you’re not a current Chauffeur Driven advertiser, please contact Chris Weiss at chris@chauffeurdriven.com to find out how to get on the invite list.
“The CD/NLA Show provides the best networking experience. The Advertiser Meet & Greet was the best idea ever,” says Rodrigo Medina Marsan of Ibiza VIP Bus.

The Limo Patriot Ride is back for 2025, but with a bold new direction. In the wake of the recent devastating wildfires in California, this year’s ride supports the supports the L.A. Fire Department (LAFD) Foundation—and you’re invited to be a part of this transformative journey. Held February 27—the day following the CD/NLA Show—the tour takes participants on a motorcycle tour through the Valley of Fire an hour outside of Las Vegas. The event is sponsored by Valera Global, Camryn Limousine, Unique Chauffeured Transportation, Earth Limos & Buses, Windels Marx (Matt Daus), and Advantage Remarketing Solutions (Eric Coolbaugh).
“This year because of the horrendous fires in Southern California, Tracy Salinger of Unique Chauffeured Services, Bill Kerr of Camryn Limousine, and I decided this year’s Limo Patriot Ride should be dedicated to benefit the LAFD Foundation charity to help all those who have and continue to risk their health and lives in dealing with the horrendous Southern California wildfires,” says David Eckstein of Valera Global.
By taking part in this annual event, you will not only experience the ride of a lifetime but also play a crucial role in supporting the LAFD. This esteemed charity provides essential equipment and funds critical programs that enable the LAFD to save lives and protect our communities. Together, we can make a tangible difference. The LAFD Foundation provides vital equipment and funds programs that help the LAFD save lives and build resilient communities. By purchasing life-saving equipment, providing mental health support, and funding other critical tools and programs, the LAFD Foundation addresses the gap between the city’s budget and LAFD needs. Our success is measured by how prepared, equipped, supported, and safe Los Angeles firefighters are.
Eaglerider Rentals & Tours are once again supporting the event by offering bikes for rent. Click here to reserve your motorcycle. For those that want to take part but are unable to rent a cycle, Earth Limos & Buses is donating transportation for the spectacular journey.
