The 12th Annual NIADA National Policy Conference takes place September 28–29, 2026 at the Willard InterContinental in Washington, D.C.
The two-day event brings together independent dealers and industry partners for policy briefings, regulatory updates, and direct meetings with members of Congress on the legislative issues most affecting the used vehicle industry.
This year’s Hill priorities include Right to Repair, FCRA reform, catalytic converter theft legislation, and CFPB oversight reform.
Day one focuses on education — general sessions, panel discussions, and Hill visit training, followed by the PAC reception and dinner.
Day two takes attendees to Capitol Hill for scheduled meetings with House and Senate offices, a congressional lunch, and a closing reception.
Last year’s conference drew 150 attendees who collectively held 123 Hill meetings and raised more than $104,000 for the PAC. Dealer registration is $149, with industry affiliate and sponsorship options also available.
Dealers are encouraged to register by August 30 to allow time for Hill appointments to be scheduled. Hotel rooms at the Willard are available at $359/night using group code NDA. Full details and registration are at niada.com/policyconference.
