You are the foundation upon which this event is built , and we promise to continue Andy and Amy ’ s tradition of listening to all segments of the NATDA membership .
Members , this is your organization , and our desire is to carry on the tradition of delivering programs and events tailored to you and building a strong community of which you can be proud .
We consider the 2022 NATDA Trailer Show an essential step in that journey . Please feel free to reach out to us at the show . We want to hear from you . What can we do to make the association and the Trailer Show more valuable to you ?
