The NADA Show is one of the most anticipated events in the automotive industry, attracting top dealers, vendors, and industry professionals from around the world. Securing a speaking session at this event is a powerful opportunity to establish yourself as a thought leader, generate brand exposure, and drive high-quality leads.

However, the application process is highly competitive, with hundreds of submissions and only a limited number of speaker slots available. Crafting a proposal that stands out requires strategic positioning, compelling content, and adherence to NADA’s strict submission requirements.

Why Speak at NADA?

Boost Your Credibility
Being selected as a speaker instantly positions you as an authority in your field. Whether you're discussing cutting-edge industry trends, breakthrough technologies, or best practices, speaking at NADA enhances your reputation and solidifies your expertise.
Increase Brand Exposure
Thousands of attendees, including dealership executives, decision-makers, and potential business partners, will be attending NADA 2026. A speaking engagement gives your brand prime visibility, ensuring your company stands out among the competition.
Drive More Leads & Sales
Speaking engagements aren't just about visibility—they translate into real business opportunities. By engaging directly with your target audience and demonstrating your expertise, you create a natural pathway for dealers and vendors to seek out your products or services.
Stay Ahead of Competitors
Unlike a standard exhibitor booth, a speaking session makes dealers come to YOU. Rather than chasing leads, you’ll have a captive audience interested in what you have to say. A compelling session drives high-quality booth traffic, giving you a competitive edge.

Here's How We Can Help

Your submission needs to grab attention from the start. We craft an engaging session synopsis, marketing blurb, and full description that clearly conveys the value of your session while meeting NADA’s strict requirements.

Selecting the best session format is crucial. We help you determine whether a Workshop (45 min), Dealer Learning Lab (20 min), or Women Driving Auto Retail session is the best fit for your topic. Additionally, we ensure your proposal is submitted under the right topic track, whether it’s Fixed Operations, Digital & Marketing, Leadership, or another key area.

Your session title should be clear, concise, and compelling—one that immediately communicates the value of your session. We craft a title that fits NADA’s guidelines and create three strong, actionable takeaways that attendees will walk away with.

One of the most critical parts of your application is the 90-second original video outlining your session’s key insights. Our team helps you develop a concise yet impactful script that effectively conveys the value and uniqueness of your session while meeting NADA’s strict no-branding and no-promotion rules.

NADA’s application process is rigorous, and even small errors can lead to disqualification. We carefully review every aspect of your submission to ensure it meets all technical, content, and format requirements.

We take care of the entire submission process, ensuring your proposal is formatted correctly and submitted on time, giving you the best chance of securing a speaker slot.
