The Washington Auto Show® Mission

The mission of the Washington Auto Show is to operate as the “Public Policy Show,” unique on the global industry circuit because of its proximity to the U.S. Congress, international diplomatic corps and Federal agencies. Global manufacturers will focus on this show, as its producers will facilitate an annual dialogue, at the highest levels, between industry leaders and public policymakers on issues affecting the automotive industry.

To stimulate interest, promote relevance and create goodwill, the Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association (WANADA) will produce a world class showcase and leverage the strengths of its retail automobile business leaders in the Washington D.C. region. Beneficiaries will include new vehicle consumers, show attendees, affiliated community and educational causes, participating manufacturers and the many thousands of WANADA dealer member employees.
