2020 ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW
Can you believe it? 2019 is gone, 2020 is here, and the 38th Annual Atlanta International
Auto Show is just around the corner! The schedule for this year’s event is a bit earlier than
usual, with the show slated for February 26th thru March 1st at the Georgia World Congress
Center – Building C. Over twenty manufacturers have committed to the 2020 show, and
they’ll have something for everyone on display.

At present, several manufacturers have signed-on to host Ride-and-Drives, including CHEVROLET, CHRYSLER, DODGE, FIAT,
JEEP, LEAF, RAM, POLARIS SLINGSHOT, and VOLKSWAGEN. This is a fantastic way to give potential buyers a chance to get
behind the wheel, helping them along the road to a purchase.

Returning for 2020, we’ll be hosting the 2nd Annual Atlanta International Auto Show Career Fair, which connects
candidates looking to enter the automotive field with dealership representatives. Contact us today to reserve your space! See
page 2 for details.

THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS WITH TOYS FOR TOTS!
2019 was another great year for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots
campaign, and the dealer members of the Metro Atlanta Automobile Dealers
Association played a big role in the effort. Once again, participating dealerships
functioned as toy collection sites, where people dropped-off thousands of new,
unwrapped toys for Metro Atlanta’s less-fortunate kids.
It’s truly heartwarming to see so many pitch-in, and our team members always
get a kick out of seeing the piles of toys at the dealerships as they make the
rounds to collect them. So, give yourselves a big pat on the back for the effort
and be ready for the 2020 Toys for Tots campaign!
