NADA Speakers Bureau
Bring unrivaled expertise to your next conference, annual meeting or leadership event.
NADA President & CEO Mike Stanton and the NADA Chairman are frequently requested speakers, but their schedules may not always allow them to participate in every event. To help ATAE members access timely industry insights and expert perspectives, NADA offers a roster of experienced leaders and subject-matter experts available to speak on a wide range of automotive retail topics.
ATAEs are eligible for one complimentary NADA speaker per calendar year. For any additional speaker requests within the same year, the hosting association will be responsible for covering the speaker's travel expenses.
Whether you're looking for a keynote speaker, panel participant, moderator, or educational presenter, NADA can help connect your association with knowledgeable professionals who understand the issues impacting dealers today.
