February 4, 2026

The deadline to apply to speak at the 2026 NIADA Convention and Expo, June 21-24 at the Gaylord Rockies in Denver, is nearing.

Applications to speak are due Feb. 15. NIADA will start announcing speakers soon, with registration opening later this month.

The education sessions are focused on helping dealers learn and grow, with the education hall being a “Sales-Free Zone.” Presenters must avoid promoting products, selling services, or giving the impression of endorsing any company. NIADA will review all content and may edit or withhold any material that does not meet the education guidelines. Material will be presented using the NIADA Convention template.

To showcase or sell products, check out NIADA sponsorship opportunities to connect with attendees.

NIADA is entitled to record, photograph or video, in full or in part, any portion of our conference, including education sessions. Videos, recordings, and/or pictures are the exclusive property of NIADA for use at its discretion.
