Meetings of the National Automotive Dealer Association (NADA), Melissa Wolpert, senior vice vice president of the conference and expo, will never attack the storm like New Orleans on January 21. The city destroyed the daily snowfall records in history and recorded 8 inches of snowfall-far exceeding the 2.7-inch record.

Walpert said: “In the 28 years of this industry, I have never dealt with such things.” “We are all thinking, ‘No, not in New Orleans. The prediction is 3 to 5 inches. We think: “Oh, maybe 3 inches, it will disappear soon. But this is not the case. “

For more than 100 years, the NADA Exhibition was held in Onest N. Morial Convention Center from January 23 to 26. It has always been a new car dealer, one -year industry activities for employees and customers. It is expected to attract more than 20,000 participants and use almost all 1.1 million square feet of exhibition space with the center.

Once the weather is upcoming, the team will start to act, re -arranged almost all the goods that arrived on January 19, instead of making mistakes according to the planned goods, and then transferred the rest of the goods to Monday. She said, “We lead here.” “The floor is ready, but if we don’t make that booking, we will not be able to open it.” In the end, they lost only 40 of more than 500 exhibitors.
