TYSONS, Va. -

It hasn’t even been a month since the National Automobile Dealers Association hosted its annual Convention & Expo in Las Vegas, but NADA’s staff is already looking ahead to the 2017 event in New Orleans.

On Tuesday, NADA issued a call for 2017 convention workshop proposals, which the association described as one of the event’s main attractions. The association tabulated that nearly 16,200 participants, which included franchised dealers, dealership managers and industry professionals, attended workshop sessions at last month’s convention in Las Vegas.

The deadline to submit a workshop proposal is May 16. For detailed instructions on how to submit a workshop proposal, go to this website.

For potential workshop presenters who want to sharpen their proposals, NADA will be hosting a webinar, “Tips for Submitting a Great Workshop Proposal,” at 1 p.m. (EDT) on April 20. Registration can be completed here.
