CrossCheck has been attending the National Automobile Dealers Association Annual Conference and Expo for 20 plus years and 2015 was no exception.
Since the conference occurred in January optimism ruled the air. Dealers, Managers and those allied to the field considered their potential in a way kind of like baseball players at spring training: everyone had a chance to be world champion and MVP.
Recent auto sales data amply supported the optimistic mood and so we had the most fun we've had with our dealerships in a while.
But what if you couldn't attend? Don't fret, we won't leave you out in the cold! Here's your chance to see what went down from our unique, exhibitor perspective.
First, we endeavored to give back to the NADA community by producing a guide to The Best Things To Do in San Francisco while at NADA 2015:
We also produced a white paper just for auto dealers and NADA attendees entitled, Selling Cars in a Radically Evolving Market:
We wrote quite a few blog articles about the conference to keep our readership informed of the experience. Here is a link to the NADA tag on our blog and below are a few of the titles:
