NADA 2026 Preview: Where AI, Trust, and Real Results Come Together

NADA 2026 is shaping up to be a defining moment for automotive retail. As dealers navigate AI adoption, rising consumer expectations, and the need for greater operational efficiency, one thing is clear: the next era of retail will be driven by platforms that are unified, intelligent, and built on trust. 

That’s why Tekion is heading to Las Vegas with a clear message: AI You Can Trust. Innovation You Can Count On. 

You’ll find us at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the West Hall at Booths 3123W & 2923W—and if you’re attending NADA 2026, this is one stop you won’t want to miss. 

What You’ll Experience at the Tekion Booth

At Tekion, AI isn’t a feature or an add-on—it’s embedded across our end-to-end platform. At NADA 2026, you’ll see how that AI-native foundation translates into real, measurable results for dealerships.

The Tekion booth isn’t just about demos—it’s about insight, perspective, and real-world experience.

At NADA 2026 on the Tekion Innovation Stage, you’ll hear from Jay Vijayan, Founder & CEO of Tekion, along with Tekion leaders across product, technology, security, and operations—sharing deep dives into how Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) and AI Agents are built and used. You’ll also hear from dealer panels featuring customers actively running their businesses on Tekion, plus get first looks at Tekion’s latest AI and platform innovations.

Session topics will span ARC, Automotive Partner Cloud (APC), CRM & DMS, Tekion Pay, and AI-powered automation across fixed and variable operations—with practical insights, best practices, and real takeaways dealers can apply immediately.

A Look Back: Momentum from NADA 2025 

Last year’s NADA showed just how ready the industry is for change. Dealers came to Tekion looking for fewer systems, faster onboarding, clearer insights, and technology that actually delivers ROI. Those conversations shaped the evolution of Tekion AI, our Agent strategy, and what we’re bringing to NADA this year. 

From AI that works for you, to trust built in, to innovation you can count on—we’re excited to show you the Tekion difference at NADA 2026.
