Registrations for the NADA (National Automobile Dealers’ Association) 2025 Connect Conference have opened.
The conference, the ninth, will be held on 13 March at the Focus Rooms in Sandton, Johannesburg.
As is usually the case with NADA’s annual conferences, the organisers have lined up a sizzling roster of speakers, including Dawie Roodt, Ghana Msibi and Juliet McGuire.
