Yes, one day dealer passes are available for $300 (and $400 for non-members).

Yes, the word is out, TIADA has one of the best if not the best conference in the country and we traditionally have dealers from other states attend our conference. And, if you are a member of your state’s association you are eligible to attend for the Texas IADA member rate.

Yes, if you have a significant pre-owned operation and you’re looking for compliance training or industry best practices you will find the best and the brightest business talent at our conference. Make sure you send someone from your dealership and if you are a member of TADA you can attend for the TIADA member rate.

Associate members are welcome to register for the conference, but only in conjunction with a sponsorship. However, our sponsorships are limited and we are already sold out. Secure your sponsorship early for 2024 soon so you don’t miss out next year.

We suggest you wear business casual attire most of the time but keep in mind this is a resort and it is July in Texas so make sure you are comfortable throughout the day. If you plan to attend the Awards Banquet on Tuesday night, it’s a little dressy; a jacket for the men and that dress you never get to wear for the ladies.

As long as you let us know by July 14th we provide a full refund. After that date, we can offer credit toward other TIADA events.

Sure, we can’t imagine not attending but we know things come up. If you can’t make it we will be happy to transfer your registration. Just notify us as soon as you can so we can make the new attendee feel welcome.

Conference dealer registration starts March 1st.
