NADA 2019 begins this week (JAN 24-27) in San Francisco. To kick off the event, we dedicated this episode of our live weekly broadcast to have a look at all the action. From keynote speakers to planned functions and activities, this podcast and video covers a lot of ground.
Hosted by Myself and Terry Lancaster, the show also features a couple special guests who were able to tune in on last-minute’s notice: Mike “The Car Guy” Correra from DealerBuilt joined in via video; Amy Hughes from Experian Automotive spoke with us over the phone for a few minutes as well.
3 Keynotes from Outside Automotive
Each year, NADA brings industry experts and motivational speakers to share insights on business innovations and solutions that will help drive your dealership into the future. The first ten minutes of the show we talk about the three keynotes that are slated:
- Kat Cole, President & COO, Focus Brands North America: “Be a Leader of Innovation and Progress: How to Iterate, Adapt and Succeed Faster”
- Dana Carvey, Comedian
- Maj. Dan Rooney, USAF: “A Patriot’s Calling: Leadership, Teamwork and Sacrifice”
