Closing sessions for NIADA Convention announced

To close the NIADA Convention and Expo June 26, four impactful sessions are now scheduled to top off the tank for dealers before they return full of ideas to their dealership.

The four sessions added to the extensive lineup of more than 50 hours of education led by some of the nation’s top dealers and industry experts are:

Inventory Management: Focus on the Formula

Presenter: Donald Sullivan, Jr., Sullivan Auto Trading, Inc., Fredericksburg, Virginia

He will walk attendees through his proven step-by-step approach to building trust, boosting approvals and positioning your dealership as a preferred partner with lenders across the country.

Navigating the Automobile Space Through 2025 and Beyond

Join us for the closing general session as we host an in-depth conversation with industry experts about where the independent automobile industry is headed.
