Area #ADD24

The goal of Automotive Dealer Day is to position itself as an accelerator and facilitator of progress and growth, holding firm to the cornerstone that has guided all editions of the event: innovation.

Also for 2024, we want to create a physical space dedicated to new realities entering the automotive world and looking for a place to make their idea known. It will be in a location exclusively dedicated to startups, with facilitated participation conditions and with a limited number of spaces to ensure visibility for all the companies present.

Every year dealers, manufacturers and established industries from the automotive distribution world are present at the event, and #ADD24 can become the place to make contacts and give visibility to innovative realities.
