Countdown to NAEDA: Building Connections, Solving Challenges, and Powering the Future of Equipment Dealerships
The countdown is on! In just days, the North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) Convention kicks off at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate -bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and solution providers who are shaping the future of equipment dealerships across the U.S. and Canada.
Why NAEDA Matters More Than Ever
This year’s convention isn’t just another industry event on the calendar—it’s a where ideas, relationships, and opportunities come together.
We are especially proud to announce our new partnership with NAEDA, created to help members attract and retain the skilled professionals they need to keep their businesses running efficiently profitably.
At TSSI Recruit, we’ve helped make over 2,500 successful hires with a 95% retention rate, connecting the heavy equipment industry with people who get the job done. We understand that an empty seat is more than an inconvenience – it’s lost productivity and profit. That’s why we focus on speed, precision, and results that last.
Meet the Team at NAEDA
Our team can’t wait to get to Orlando and be part of the energy that NAEDA always brings.
Nipam, our CEO, is most looking forward to hearing directly from dealers, manufacturers, and service providers about whats happening on the ground. He often says that we cant build the right solutions unless we truly understand what the market is facing – and events like NAEDA are the best place to do exactly that. “It’s a real opportunity to gain industry insights on current trends which would otherwise take months to gather,” he explains.
For Tim, TSSI Recruit US’s Managing Director, it’s all about connection. With more than a decade in equipment and B2B supply space, he’s seen firsthand how valuable in-person conversations can be. “We achieve so much over Teams and phone calls,” he says, “but nothing beats sitting down in real life. Human connection is fundamental to who we are and what we do”
Marissa, Our Recruiting Associate is equally excited, With her background in equipment sales and client engagement, she’s ready to dive into the sessions and discussions that shape where the market is heading – especially the one on the 18th in the International Ballroom. She’s all about listening, learning, and turning those insights into better outcomes for both our clients and candidates.
And Sean, who leads our Heroes to Hire initiative as an intern Recruiting Associate, brings a unique perspective through his focus on workforce developments and veteran recruitment. He’s eager to speak with dealers and manufacturers about the value of hiring military-trained professionals through programs like SkillBridge. As Sean puts it, “This is our chance to show how Veterans’ skills and discipline can strengthen the equipment industry.”
Together, the TSSI Recruit team is heading into the NAEDA Convention ready to connect, listen and learn – building the relationships and insights that will help us keep powering the future of equipment dealerships.
