The North American Trailer Dealers Association( NATDA) welcomes you to Indianapolis, Indiana! To celebrate the association’ s 10th anniversary, we jumped at the opportunity of holding the 2017 NATDA Trade Show & Convention in the Circle City. For 2017, we put together one of the most memorable trade shows in our history.
Technical Training hosted by LINK Trailer Parts will be held on Thursday, September 7th which will give you something you can“ take back to the shop”, provided by technical experts from B & W Trailer Hitches, CURT Group and Dexter Axle. You’ ll get an in-depth overview of gooseneck and 5th wheel hitch sales and installation, the fundamentals of the receiver hitch, basic wiring installation tips and a multi-point service inspection checklist, which are all intended to improve your dealership’ s revenue streams.
Following the Technical Training will be our Dealer Education seminars. This education line-up is the perfect way to elevate your dealership’ s operational methods. NATDA will be covering ways to increase your parts sales, marketing trends to increase revenue, staking out your dealer competition and ways to lower your insurance. We will also be officially launching our NATDA Dealership Performance Training in partnership with Bob Clements International. Make certain to look for ways to sign-up at the show!
Friday, September 8th, join us at our one-time, special event President’ s Breakfast hosted by Waymire Distribution, Dexter Axle and Taskmaster Components to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and recognize the association’ s longtime contributors. This is the perfect opportunity for us to thank each of you for all you’ ve done to help the association grow over the past 10-years. Without our incredible exhibitors, the 2017 NATDA Trade Show & Convention would not be possible. Your participation is truly a sign of your desire to see this industry grow. Our association is truly blessed with the support of those in the industry who help us provide dealers a place to network, access to free resources and education to grow their dealership.
