Though the CD/NLA Show is just two weeks away, there’s still time to register. Head on over to cdnlashow.com to get your show pass for what is guaranteed to be THE industry event of 2021. Held at the luxurious, all-under-one-roof Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center from October 10-13, the CD/NLA Show promises four days of networking, education, and fun. Not only does the show offer a great opportunity to reconnect with your peers and colleagues after what can best be called an extended break, it’s also the chance to get instantly actionable advice and share best practices with your colleagues for restarting your business. Don’t forget, current NLA members get $75 off the registration price; there’s still time to save.
And speaking of the Gaylord Texan… have we mentioned its convenient location? Situated just minutes from the Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport (we clocked it using a real-time app as a nine-minute commute during rush hour), it’s also about a 30-minute drive from Dallas Love Field Airport (the hub for Southwest Airlines). Whatever your means of travel, the Gaylord Texan is easy to get to.
While the CD/NLA Show is jam-packed with sessions, networking events, and forums, not to mention a bustling show floor, we know that many of you look forward to our after-hours parties and events. This year’s no different; in fact, we have two events that are gonna let you party like it’s…well, 2019. What’s more, we’ve tapped some industry talent to help raise the roof. First, for our A Little Bit of Country, A Whole Lotta Rock ’n Roll Opening Night Party on Sunday at 9:30pm, we’ve got live rock and roll and country hits from Sound Judgment, a band of consisting of legal professionals that features none other than industry champion and CD columnist Matt Daus of Windels Marx. Slip on your hat and boots or lace up your dancing shoes cause this will be one rocking evening sponsored by Chosen Payments. Then, on Monday night, we’re going to turn the Gaylord into Club CD/NLA, with help from DJ Claude (aka Claude Cristea of Williamsburg Chauffeur Service). He’ll be spinning the tunes and dropping the beats from 9:30pm to midnight courtesy of sponsors AJL International, ECS Transportation Group, and Premier Transportation of Dallas.

HyperFog, a producer of car-installed foggers with IoT (internet of things) capability, has entered into a pilot contract with NuRide Transportation Group, a New York City limousine service, for mobile in-vehicle fogging services using Thymox, a commercially available botanical fogging cleaner. HyperFog was founded by a physician who is motivated to provide thorough cleaning services to empower the transportation industry to return to what it does best—get you to your destination with confidence and cleanliness.
HyperFog in-vehicle fogging cleaner
According to the announcement, HyperFog will provide:
- Fast, automated in-vehicle fogging system
- Botanical cleaning agent
- Crash-test certified safety
- App on cellphones to place HyperFog order for each ride
For a few weeks this fall, select vehicles in NYC will be equipped with an app-based vehicle fogging service, which can be ordered directly by customers prior to entering a vehicle. Upon request using ride-hailing apps, web reservation, or phone reservation, HyperFog can offer vehicle fogging through a two-minute application of a cleaning formulation—which the company says is fast and designed to cover all surfaces of the interior of the car. Using tech, cloud computing, dynamic engineering, and Thymox technology, HyperFog was created to give consumers peace of mind.
The HyperFog service and app were designed in partnership with design firm Aprodium. With Aprodium’s design skills, the HyperFog machine passed federal crash testing on the first attempt.
HyperFog is available for fleets, limos, taxis, rideshare drivers, or independent contractors.
