What's Next.
We’re heading back to Wild Dunes for the 2027 VADA Annual Convention. Join Virginia’s auto industry leaders at Isle of Palms as we connect, recharge, and look ahead to the road in front of us.
A first look at
Wild Dunes Resort:
The Home of VADA'27
If you’ve never been to a VADA convention, this is the fastest way to see what the week is like — and where we’re taking it in 2027.
Who this week is for
Not just owners and GMs attend VADA's annual convention. We feature sessions for sales, service, parts, F&I and even the back office! Bring your team, and leave with insights you can use as soon as you get back to your dealership.
Roundtables, the sponsor hall, dinners on the beach. Ask anyone who comes back every year, and they'll say the same thing: 'VADA does it best.'
This convention is designed for your entire family. While you're in sessions, we feature programming for kids. Additionally, with so much to explore at Isle of Palms and beyond, it's hard to NOT find something to do!
