Registration is now open for the 12th annual CADA Summit taking place Feb. 12, 2025, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Ontario.
Organized by the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association, this perennially-sold out conference features high-level keynotes and panel discussions. In a story published this week in the association’s newsletter, CADA revealed some of the topics and speakers.
“Previous CADA Summit events have sold out, and we like to urge our dealer members to book their spots when registration opens to ensure they and their key team members can participate,” said Peter Viney, CADA’s Industry Relations Manager in the CADA Newsline article.

In the article, organizers said this year they’ve switched up the opening Quick Takes session that usually features quick hit interviews with various OEM leaders. Instead, this year Jason Stein, host of the popular “Cars and Culture” radio show on SiriusXM will interview the heads of some of Canada’s largest dealer groups.
“You won’t want to miss hearing from fellow dealers about their strategies for growth and business success in the coming year,” said Tim Reuss, CADA’s President and CEO, in the article. “Later in the day, you can also hear from individual dealers that were named 2024 CADA Laureates. They will provide additional perspectives on how dealers are adapting and thriving.”
Another session that will generate a lot of interest from dealers is when all three Canadian leaders from Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis take the stage for a moderated panel discussion.
Other sessions include an economic update, cybersecurity, an update on the political landscape on both sides of the border, and Darren Slind, Co-Founder and President of the Clarify Group, will present some of the findings of a new report on where the auto retail industry is headed in the years ahead.
