What to ‘Snow’ about NADA 2025

Terry Bell
Product Marketing

Pun totally intended.

NADA in New Orleans got off to an auspicious start due to a very nasty storm that devastated roads, airports, and effectively shut the city down.

But that didn’t stop the auto community from rallying together to make it happen. Attendance was certainly down, but education sessions still happened, most booths got built, and dealers still made the trek.

We’ve got some stories to share about our ‘SNOLA’ experience and some highlights from the show in our latest blog. You can read it here.
