A first look at Wild Dunes
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. Sales, service, parts, F&I and the back office all have something to sit in on. Bring the person who never gets to go.
Roundtables, the sponsor hall, dinners on the beach. Ask anyone who comes back every year and they’ll point to the hallway, not the agenda.
Programming wraps by midday on purpose. Spouses and kids get the ocean, the pools and the resort while you’re in a session — and the rest of the day with you.
A week of sun and sand
Schedule page →Join us for an unforgettable mix of business and education, networking opportunities, and rest & relaxation on the South Carolina coast.
Arrive and check in through the afternoon, then the opening dinner, 7–9pm.
A full day. Education, the board meeting at noon, oysters at 3:30, then dinner on your own.
The other full day. Golf on the Harbour Course from noon, then the closing dinner.
Check out in the morning. Or stay the weekend — plenty do.
Three miles of private beach, two Fazio golf courses, oceanfront rooms and villas, pools, tennis, and boats out of the marina. Everything is a walk from where the sessions are.
Charleston is twenty minutes up the road when you want a night out — King Street, the market, the restaurants people fly in for.
