The CD/NLA Fall Show is coming fast. Join us at the Gaylord Texan (just outside of Dallas) on October 25-28 for an incredible and immersive industry experience that includes education, a huge show floor, networking, and fun all under one roof.
We’re proud of the lineup of sessions, seminars, and roundtables—thanks to Education Sponsor Hoffman Family of Companies—that the CD/NLA Show Education Committee has lined up. Operators with one car or 100 are bound to get some valuable takeaway and ROI from our incredible expert speakers and presenters—many of which come from outside the industry. And we know attendees will spend the day working hard and investing their time during our inspiring 11 educational sessions. As a result, we’ve planned two fun evening networking sessions to help you wind down, meet new friends, and have some good old-fashioned fun.
On Sunday night at 9:00 p.m., you’ll want to mosey on over to the opening of the Show Floor for an event overflowing with Lone Star charm. Sponsored by Ultimate Toys, we’re proud to present our version of the famous State Fair of Texas with a larger-than-a-ten-gallon-hat celebration that promises to be anything but ordinary. Amidst our rows and rows of exhibitors and vendors, attendees can enjoy carnival staples like corn dogs and cotton candy, our customary open bar, games like Ring Toss and Plinko, and maybe even try your luck on a mechanical bull or two. It’s an awesome chance to unwind, connect with vendors and fellow operators, and treat yourself to a little Texan flair under the convention center lights—boots optional, but highly encouraged.
Then on Tuesday night at 9:30 p.m., we head to the Glass Cactus—the Gaylord Texan’s stunning lakeside venue that knows how to throw a proper party—for our show’s grand finale event, sponsored by Black Swan Executive Chauffeurs and Reseau Chauffeured Service. With its spacious outdoor terrace and unbeatable sunset views over Lake Grapevine, this is where business winds down and the celebration jumps into high gear. Attendees can kick back with a cocktail (or two) from our open bar, soak in the live blend of country and rock music from the Red Wine Band, and hit the dance floor for one last evening of high-energy fun and laid-back networking as we close out the show. Whether you're there for the rhythm, the dancing, or just a well-earned farewell with your fellow peers, we send you home in Big Tex style.
