NOADA Events Calendar
NOADA brings the Northeast Ohio dealer community together all year - to learn, to network, to give back, and to celebrate an industry that’s been part of this region since 1927. This is the home for every NOADA event: our signature dealer event and auto show, the annual golf outing, and a steady calendar of training seminars and webinars for dealership teams. Whether you’re a member dealer, an endorsed partner, or a vendor looking to reach decision-makers, this page is how you plan your year with us.
Below is an overview of what we host, who each event is for, and how to register or sponsor.
What’s on the calendar
NOADA events fall into three tracks. Each has its own page with full details, dates, and registration.
The dealer event & auto show
Our marquee gathering of the year. Recent editions have combined a morning business “Summit” - keynote speaker, market outlook, and dealer networking over breakfast - with hands-on programming and a vehicle showcase that puts Northeast Ohio’s newest models in front of the community. It’s where dealer principals, managers, and partners spend a day on the business of the business. Full details, speakers, and exhibitor information are on the auto show & dealer event page.
The NOADA golf outing
A Northeast Ohio tradition and one of the best networking days on the calendar. The outing pairs a relaxed day of golf with the kind of face-to-face relationship-building that keeps the dealer community tight - and supports NOADA’s community and workforce mission. Foursomes, single players, and hole sponsors are all welcome. See formats, pricing, and registration on the golf outing page.
Dealer training: seminars & webinars
Ongoing education for the people who run our dealerships and the Akron BMV counter - compliance, F&I, title and registration procedures, HR, sales, and management. Sessions run both in person and online so teams can attend without leaving the store. Browse upcoming and archived sessions on the training page.
Who NOADA events are for
- Member dealers - principals, GMs, and department managers who want market intel, peer connection, and practical training. Most events are a member benefit or carry member pricing.
- Dealership staff - sales, F&I, service, title clerks, and HR who benefit from focused training and certification-track sessions.
- Endorsed partners & vendors - companies that serve dealerships and want quality face time with decision-makers through sponsorship and exhibiting.
- The community - neighbors and families who enjoy the public-facing vehicle showcase and the charitable programs our events fund.
Not yet a member? Many events offer the best value to members. Join NOADA before you register.
Sponsor or exhibit at a NOADA event
NOADA events are a direct line to the people who run Northeast Ohio’s dealerships. Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are offered for each event, and the available packages and inclusions are confirmed for each season.
To sponsor or exhibit, contact NOADA at tim@neodealers.com or 330-272-9011 for the current opportunities, submission form, and deadline. Endorsed partners can learn more on the partners page.
Why members get more from every event
You can attend many NOADA events without being a member - but members get the most out of them. Membership typically means invitations and early-bird access before registration opens to anyone else, member pricing on tickets and sponsorships, and the relationships that make every event more valuable once you’re a known face in the room. Just as important, the events connect to the rest of the member toolkit: the market intelligence in AUTO KNOW that shapes the dealer event’s outlook, the training that keeps your team sharp, and the endorsed partners you’ll meet on the golf course or at the showcase. For a Northeast Ohio dealership, the calendar isn’t a series of one-off outings - it’s a year-long membership in a community. See everything that comes with it on the membership benefits page.
How to register
Each event page carries its own registration. In general:
- Pick your event from the tracks above.
- Choose your role - attendee, foursome, sponsor, or exhibitor.
- Register online (or return the event’s form by the listed deadline).
- Watch your inbox for confirmation and day-of details.
Members receive event invitations and early-bird access by email; joining NOADA is the easiest way to never miss one.
Plan ahead
Our calendar tends to follow a rhythm: training runs throughout the year, the golf outing lands in the warm-weather months, and the dealer event/auto show anchors a marquee date. Dates, venues, and registration for each event are announced each year. Contact NOADA at (330) 272-9011 or follow @NEODealers for the latest.
