With our successful CD/NLA Executive Retreat in Savannah in our rear-view mirror, we’re looking at the road ahead as we prepare for the 2025 CD/NLA Show held October 25-28 at the Gaylord Texan, just outside of Dallas. We’re thrilled to return the ground transportation industry to the great state of Texas. Once again, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and exhibitors, we’re able to bring you the best in networking, education, and fun—all under one roof.
Registration for our fall show is now open. Just click here to take advantage of our Early Bird Pricing of $499. But wait! NLA members save an additional $74 dollars off the registration.
Among the most popular events at the CD/NLA Show year after year is the Operator Mentoring Program, which gives operators an invaluable opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s most iconic names in a roundtable format. This long-running hit gives the intimate group—made up of representatives from around the country—a chance to contribute and bring fresh ideas to the conversation.
“My experience at the Operator Mentoring Program was phenomenal. I received the targeted advice that I needed in order to scale up my chauffeur service to the next level,” says Tamara Fitzgerald of AET Transportation.
We’re pleased to announce that this perennial favorite returns Sunday afternoon. We have a terrific and diverse mix of industry rock stars of all ages, company sizes, and backgrounds. Moreover, we’re excited to introduce new faces and markets to the program, giving attendees the chance to learn from an even more varied group of mentors.
