Over the past week, you have been able to see it extensively on LinkedIn and on the travel blogs of Rolf Westgeest on BKAN.nl: the NADA2026 in Las Vegas. A large group of Dutch and Belgians attended. However, not everyone has the opportunity to make such a trip, and especially to be allowed to do so. That is why, with our #DCDW events, we bring the NADA to the Netherlands and Belgium, with the best speakers from Las Vegas!

The most requested speaker at the NADA, Jonathan Dawson, who was recently our guest, already received many reactions on LinkedIn. It turns out: Jonathan has been a speaker for more than 25 years and he promised to teach me exactly how to submit an application to the NADA in order to be selected as a workshop speaker at a future edition of the NADA. There was also much attention for other former #DCDW speakers, such as Brian Benstock, Troy “Turbo” Spring, Michael Cirillo, Brian Pasch and David Kain.

The star of the recent NADA was undoubtedly Russell Richardson, who broadcast live every day on social media about everything he experienced during the various workshops, presentations and interviews at the Expo stands.

And Russell Richardson will now be our keynote speaker during the upcoming #DCDW events. He will tell us everything about how he uses social media to sell cars. How do you become a well-known car salesperson with strong local reach, and how do you really use Facebook, Instagram and TikTok effectively?

In addition, we have presentations from PowerKraut, ikwilvanmijnautoaf® | driven by dealerdirect®, AMI – Automotive Marketing Intelligence for you, panel discussions with real online automotive specialists and of course my take on the NADA 2026 in Las Vegas.

The best part? Participation is free for employees of dealers, car companies, importers and leasing companies. Are you an employee of a related company? Then you are very welcome after an investment of €595 to keep it free for our target group. Put the following dates in your calendar already: 31 March in Brussels and 1 April in Houten. See you there!

Update

The #DCDW event on 31 March will not take place in Antwerp… but during Autotechnica in Brussels! 🚗

Together with AutoTechnica, we are making online automotive even better – right in the middle of the Expo.

That means:

✅ Free access to the #DCDW event

✅ Free access to Autotechnica

✅ A free parking card

We have a fantastic collaboration with Autotechnica. In addition to the top content program you are used to from #DCDW, you can directly visit the complete trade fair: innovation, equipment, tools, technology and everything the aftersales and automotive professional needs.

And the best part? Visitors of the fair also have free access to the #DCDW event. In short: two events, one location, one ticket – and maximum return on your day in Brussels. Thanks to Klaus Van Cauwenberghe.
