    Default Who's coming to Chicago for NADA 2016?

    Here is a graphical view of where folks are coming from for NADA 2016. Updating the map is a manual process but I'll try to get it done daily. If you shout out on this thread you've made hotel reservations it will be a good prompt for me to go out and review the hotel show database and update the map.


    You MUST book as part of the NADA group to be sure you get our reduced room rate of $115 for 2 persons per room and be included on the map below. The easiest way to do that is using this link to the NADA show page http://discusnada.org/2016NADAdiscusshow/ or by going directly to the hotel reservation page for the NADA show. https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/even...9&key=36E7F357 If you feel you have to call to make your reservation and get anything other than the $115 rate you have not been put in the NADA group.

    The hotel reservation link above has been fixed.


    As it says below, if your state or province isn't represented, you can fix that!!! Hope to see your marker on the map soon and see you in Lombard at the 2016 NADA show. If you have any questions on how to make a reservation or get a sold out message please contact me before proceeding so we get you in and at the best rate. It could save you over $100 a night!

    I just want to let everyone know that not everyone who registered for the show has made their hotel reservations yet. We have show registrations from Washington State, British Columbia Canada, Bogota Columbia. Plus I have not made any of the reservations yet for any of the speakers.

    I noticed Willie was one of the first people to make a hotel reservation. He's serious about getting that drink I owe him.

    Jim - our contract is listed as North American Discus Association and since I don't see you in our report I'm sure unfortunately the reservation folks didn't make the connection between that and NADA. I've talked with our rep this morning and she's going to get NADA added into their system so hopefully you'll be the last to run into this. I'll PM you to get yours sorted out.

    A marker's been added in North Carolina...looks like magic cones are going to be available at the show. In an unrelated event the number of markers in the Twin Cities has multiplied.

    This is so awesome, Thanks Keith!!

    When Keith shared this with the Show Committee I thought it was a great idea but I really didn't have time to play with it. I didn't realize it was interactive and you could actually see who and where everyone is located. A few months ago I would have been listed just North of the other location shown in Ga. just North of Atlanta but we have a contract on our house and have started changing our address to Hillsboro, Ga in the Middle of the State. So here is another benefit of this map. If you are planning on driving to the Show the trip is much more enjoyable if shared with others. Look at the map and see who will be coming from the same direction as you and reach out to them. Maybe they are looking for someone to share the ride with. This map really makes that easy since you have everyone's name and location.
