NEGDA is bringing its 2025 Conference & Annual Meeting to the historic and prestigious setting of Princeton, New Jersey, a city known for producing some of the greatest minds and leaders in American history. This year’s theme, “Ivy League & Industry Leaders,” blends Princeton’s legacy of innovation and strategic thinking with cutting-edge insights to help generator dealers rethink, refine, and revolutionize their businesses.
As NEGDA continues to expand its reach, Princeton was strategically chosen not only for its rich intellectual and historical significance but also as part of our commitment to growing membership down the East Coast. This conference serves as an opportunity to connect with both established members and prospective dealers who are looking to join a thriving network dedicated to advancing both their individual businesses and the generator industry.
