The Virginia Automotive Association will host its annual Convention and Trade Expo April 24 – 26 at the Williamsburg Lodge in historic colonial Williamsburg, Va. 
“We have an all star cast of speakers,” VAA President Bobby Cutchins said. “There are special sessions for just the owners and key managers and at the same time sessions specifically designed for sales personnel and service advisors. There is truly something for everyone.”
The convention’s featured speakers include Dave Crawford, CEO of The Hybrid Shop; Chris “Chubby” Frederick, CEO of Automotive Training Institute; Norm Gaither, CEO of Dealer Strategic Planning; Matt Winslow, director of speakers and content, Automotive Training Institute; Eric Van Dyck, training development manager for Michelin; and Meagan Johnson of the Johnson Training Group.
At the Saturday evening banquet, VAA will celebrate its 50-year anniversary of “Connecting Virginia’s Automotive Professionals.”
The trade expo will be hosted following the banquet.
