The clock is ticking! We’re just days away from the industry event of the season—the CD/NLA Show in Texas. But don’t worry… there’s still time to join us at the fab all-under-one-roof Gaylord Texan from October 25-28. Just click here to register and save money off the onsite price.
In the meantime, why not get the CD/NLA Show app, once again sponsored by North Point Global Transportation Services. This invaluable tool allows you to plan your show experience and connect with fellow operators. Just head to your favorite app store and search for CD NLA Show to download.
While you’re planning your event, be sure to build in plenty of time on Tuesday to take part in the Affiliate Central Global Partner Forum. Held from 11:30-1:15 pm, this one-of-a-kind event is, in many ways, the heartbeat of the show. Attendees have the opportunity to table-hop among nearly 65 affiliate partners from markets around the world—who are looking to do business with you! Upwards of 1,000 operators take part in this jam-packed event each year, and you’ll definitely want to join them.
“The CD/NLA Show provided a great platform for building valuable relationships, fostering friendships, and forming strong partnerships. It was truly a rewarding experience,” says Petre-Bogdan Pistolea of Chauffeurs-ADHOC London.
“This show brings excitement and opportunities from all over the world. There are chances to meet and form global relations that you cannot make over the phone” says Eric Spitzer of Top Shelf Transportation.

And, with 11 incredible sessions and roundtables coming your way, of course you’ll want to use the app to schedule and personalize your educational experience. One session we’re particularly psyched about deals with the timely topic of AI. On Sunday at 2:30, join expert Caitlen Macias of BotQueen AI for Driven by Intelligence: AI at the Wheel of Luxury Travel. Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing how we do business, and the luxury transportation industry is no exception. In this session, you’ll learn how to start using today’s most powerful AI tools, from Claude and ChatGPT to Canva and other generative platforms, to save time, boost efficiency, and elevate the customer experience. We’ll also explore AI agents; advanced digital assistants that can streamline operations and support your team in real time. Finally, we’ll discuss how to create smart AI policies, train your team, and plan for the future so your company can adopt AI with confidence and stay ahead of the curve.

“The CD/NLA Show, for me, was nostalgic and invigorating. Learning about the evolution of our industry and the new things to come is great and the collaborations with everyone that attends are invaluable,” says Helio Martinez of Black Tie Transportation.
Equally timely is Sunday’s look at the Impact of the Big Beautiful Bill, courtesy of CPA Ryan Bakke of Tax Strategy 365. As you likely know, following the passage of the Bill,100% bonus depreciation is now permanent, allowing businesses to fully deduct the cost of eligible assets immediately. So where better to take advantage than to add to or refresh your fleet on our huge show floor. We’ll have OEMs and dealers with vehicles on display that will fit any niche of your business. Our show floor opens during Sunday night’s Opening Night Party (sponsored by Ultimate Toys), and it will remain open during Monday and Tuesday afternoon as well. There’ll be plenty of time to wheel and deal!
“The CD/NLA Show had a great balance of show floor time and educational opportunities. It’s great to see the many operators that work with us around the world,” says Larry Janowitz of Larry’s Private Car Worldwide.
While we’re looking forward to our show’s educational programming and networking opportunities, we’re especially excited about seeing YOU. Don’t miss out. Register today!
