Dave Cantin Group NADA Celebration

Dave Cantin Group (DCG), a leading automotive M&A advisory firm, today announced hip-hop legends Flo Rida and Rev Run will headline its highly anticipated 8th annual NADA Celebration on Friday, Feb. 19, 2027, at House of Blues Orlando in Disney Springs. The Celebration has become the automotive industry’s most sought-after party invitation during NADA Show week. Since 2024, executives from over 270 prominent auto retail groups representing over 3,200 dealership rooftops have attended, alongside leaders from major banks, F&I providers, law firms, accounting firms, and automakers. “Every year, we create a special night where people come together, celebrate the automotive industry and connect outside the meetings and business of NADA,” Dave Cantin Group President Brian Gordon said. “This room has more industry star power than any other event during NADA week – it’s an incredibly special night.” Rev Run, a founding member of pioneering hip-hop group Run-DMC and a 2009 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, returns to the DCG NADA stage after performing at the company’s 2026 event in Las Vegas. Run-DMC helped bring hip-hop into the mainstream with hits including “It’s Tricky,” “My Adidas,” “Run’s House” and its groundbreaking collaboration with Aerosmith, “Walk This Way.” Flo Rida brings a home-state connection to DCG’s 2027 Orlando event. Born and raised in South Florida, he chose the stage name Flo Rida as a nod to his native state before becoming an international star with some of the biggest party anthems of the past two decades. His breakout hit “Low” was followed by a string of hits including “Right Round,” “Club Can’t Handle Me,” “Wild Ones” and “My House.” Dave Cantin Group’s annual NADA Celebration is private, Dave Cantin Group (DCG), a leading automotive M&A advisory firm, today announced hip-hop legends Flo Rida and Rev Run will headline its highly anticipated 8th annual NADA Celebration on Friday, Feb. 19, 2027, at House of Blues Orlando in Disney Springs.
