In 2018 and 2019, we witnessed a slew of legislative and regulatory activity in areas that affect dealer operations. At NADA Show 2020, our Legal and Regulatory education sessions will address these hot topics for dealers and provide the information new car- and truck dealers need to stay up-to-date with dealership processes.

Take a look at some of the sessions that will touch on these timely legal topics, view the full workshop schedule, and register for the 2020 Show in Las Vegas this February

Data Security and Privacy Update: 2020 and Beyond
