Places are still available for the trip but time is running out as the February deadline fast approaches.

This annual event, organised by the National Automobile Dealers Association, is the biggest dealer convention in the world and offers UK retailers an unrivalled opportunity to pick up best practice ideas across sales, marketing, recruitment and management functions through a series of speaker sessions.

The convention also hosts an extensive trade show with over 600 exhibitors. Next year's Nada returns to San Francisco and the UK trip organised by Trevor Jones and Motor Trader will run from 7-13 February with a direct flight from Gatwick. This is the seventh time that Trevor Jones and Motor Trader have co-hosted a group of UK automotive retailing professionals. Delegates tend to be bosses of franchised sites and senior managers from car manufacturers and finance providers. Recent years have attracted a growing number of independent dealers from the car supermarket sector. “Nada gives dealers an opportunity to look at their businesses from a fresh perspective and pick up some new ideas — one of which could make all the difference to their bottom line,” said Trevor Jones, senior partner.

Once again the trip will include a visit to a local car dealership and convention debrief sessions chaired by Trevor Jones. “In the past we've found the dealer visit has been a particularly useful way for UK retailers to observe how their American counterparts run their businesses,” he said. “The group, which is the biggest UK delegation, also provides a useful networking opportunity for traders,” he said.
