Dave Cantin Group Remains “The King of the Afterparty” at NADA With Third Eye Blind Performance
Dave Cantin Group once again brought together the best in the industry at our NADA afterparty in New Orleans.
With an unforgettable performance by Third Eye Blind and guests calling it “10/10, the best of NADA,” it’s safe to say DCG remains the king of the afterparty.
This year’s event was held at the MISI in New Orleans, a stunning venue overlooking the Mississippi, providing the perfect backdrop for an evening with top dealership executives and industry leaders. Guests enjoyed exclusive experiences, including a custom cigar roller, tarot card readings, and four open bars—one serving signature NOLA-inspired cocktails, and more.
A highlight of NADA 2025 was Third Eye Blind’s amazing performance. Along with playing their biggest hits, the band joined a VIP meet-and-greet. Among those meeting the band in front of DCG’s custom background was CEO Dave Cantin, President of DCG, Brian Gordon, Brett Morgan, Blaise Alexander, and Darren Whitehurst.
At DCG, we go all in on everything we do, thats why next year’s event is going to be even better. We can’t wait to see you there!
