The AADA sponsors and manages this annual event in conjunction with Spectrum, which is held at the Austin Convention Center. Since its inception the auto show has grown in both square footage and attendance. As it is not a selling show, it provides an ideal opportunity for consumers to compare styling and pricing of virtually every line make under one roof in just a few short hours.

For the past several years AADA has featured the University of Texas Athletic Department at its Annual Kickoff Lunch. Highlights include tours of private facilities and inspiring speakers such as Augie Garrido, Mack Brown, Jeff “Maddog” Madden, Deloss Dodds, Steve Patterson and Shaka Smart.

AADA acts as a liaison for dealers with city and county elected officials and agencies, and offers to provide information, input and assistance on local issues and ordinances. Through the association, dealers can more effectively learn and comprehend technical data, rulings and guidelines issued by governmental commissions and agencies. The AADA works closely with state and national associations including TADA, NADA and AIADA.

E-mail alerts are sent exclusively to AADA members to update on industry matters.
