Let's get ready to rummmble at NADA!

Thought I'd start a simple thread for those of us attending an hoping to meet others from the online community.

Here are my plans:

I get in on Thursday afternoon. Friday I am playing golf at Grand Cypress. I have a 12:10 tee time if anyone wants to join me.

If anyone is getting together for dinner or drinks, please let me know. I would love to meet as many of you as possible.

Sat & Sun I'll be walking the floor.

Saturday, I plan on attending Ralph's event from 1-3. Don't worry Ralph, I am leaving the boxing gloves at home.

Ping me if you want to meet up: 585-749-2015

I can't wait for some warm weather!

Great idea for a #2010NADA discussion thread... I am still stuck in Philly after 9 days on the road, been stranded here since last Thursday and ornery as hell! Anyways, I was supposed to arrive in Orlando tomorrow, but changed my flight to go home to Phoenix first, hope I make it... Then I arrive in Orlando late Wednesday evening. I am staying at the ADP Dealer Services official hotel, the Marriott World Center, which is about 185 miles from the convention center (maybe I exaggerate a little), so you will probably see me in our NADA Convention Center Executive Conference room a lot...; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Philip Zelinger on February 10, 2010 at 6:48pm: I'll be in a three piece suit and tie but business casual is probably best. Then again, I am always in a suit so you can't go by me!!; ▶ Reply to This

I suggest that you come early -- you will be amazed at the guest list including several OEM teams, most of the more recognized auto industry networkers and publishers, a bunch of retail groups including representatives from Penske, Buchanan, Kelley and even more vendors like R.L. Polk, Chrome, Data One, ADP, Dealer.Com, KBB, Vinsolutions, Edmunds ... and the list goes on with 150 confirmed guests almost as important as you!!; ▶ Reply to This
