As we’ve detailed in the past few weeks, education is the heart of the CD/NLA Show. But in addition to our classroom-style sessions and interactive roundtables, we’re excited to offer attendees the opportunity to get a candid insight into our industry. Join us on Monday, October 14, for the State of the Industry, sponsored by Driving Transactions. Always one of our most-attended events—and usually standing-room-only—the State of the Industry provides a unique snapshot of the luxury ground transportation world.

“The State of the Industry was not only a powerful learning experience, but it was also incredibly up-lifting. Having the opportunity to spend time with industry leaders was invaluable,” says Richard & Wanda Van Dyke of Ambassador City Chauffeurs.
This year, we’re thrilled to offer a panel of dynamic operators, representing different sizes and markets from around the country. Moderated by CD President Chris Weiss, this year’s panel includes Brett Barenholtz of Boston Car Transportation/Above All/ETS/Maine Chauffeured Services, Eric Devlin of Premier Transportation, J.R. Garza of Diamond Limousine & Sedan, Tiffany Hinton of MOTEV, and Jason Messinger of BBZ Limousine & Livery Service.
The State of the Industry will address some of the most pressing topics faced by operators in 2024, including insurance, AI and technology, fluctuating rates, remote employees, and vehicles being embraced by the clients and the industry. You can guarantee that this will be an intriguing, enlightening, and entertaining session.
“Kudos to everyone involved in the CD/NLA Show! From the educational programs, State of the Industry to the show floor, everything was well orchestrated, professional, and top notch,” says Mike Rose of My Limousine Service.

Paul Walsh of Superior Executive Transportation casts a line
On Tuesday, August 27, the Virginia Limousine Association (VLA) held a fishing trip/membership meeting in Virginia Beach. The day-long event gave members and guests the opportunity to network on the open water followed by a membership meeting with special guest Dan Roberts of Virgina Tours.
The VLA began the day at Rudee’s Inlet where 20 members spent the afternoon fishing for bluefish and Spanish mackerel as well as sighting dolphins. More than 50 fish were reeled in by the group.

“This was a great day for the VLA,” says VLA President Bill Kerr of Camryn Executive Transportation. “We had operators come from all over the Commonwealth to take part.”
Following the fishing trip, the association held a general membership meeting at the Virgina Beach Sheraton on the waterfront. Guest speaker Roberts was on hand to discuss trends in tourism, conventions, and the retail business. He took questions from the operators in attendance, which allowed them to plan effective business strategies for 2025.
The group caught 57 fish during the afternoon excursion
“A special thank you to Paul Walsh with Superior Executive Transportation in Virginia Beach for providing transportation to members,” says Kerr. “We’re doing great things in Virginia, and we’re particularly excited about our joint meeting with the Maryland Limousine Association at the Gaylord National.”
Scheduled to be held during the CD/NLA Show, this meeting will be open to all operators and will feature a representative of the Washington D.C. Airport Authority.
