ABOUT THE FAIR
The Automotive Dealer Day is a trade fair with a clear focus on automotive retail and is regarded as one of the most important European platforms for decision-makers, practitioners, and innovation leaders in the industry. Each year, international professionals gather at the modern Veronafiere exhibition center, located in the heart of the historic city of Verona in northern Italy. The event is organized by Quintegia S.p.A., a renowned Italian company specializing in research, consulting, and the organization of high-profile industry events.
What sets the Automotive Dealer Day apart is its focused thematic approach. The event addresses current transformations in mobility and explores key future topics — from alternative powertrains and digital transformation to ESG criteria. Under the theme "Decoding Revolution", the aim is not only to understand the rapid changes in the industry but to actively shape them. Core topics include sustainability, electrification, new sales models, and the integration of artificial intelligence and data-driven strategies. The used car market and remarketing are also gaining strategic relevance.
Exhibitors from across the automotive ecosystem — including manufacturers, suppliers, repair shops, software providers, financial services companies, start-ups, and telematics firms — showcase their latest products and services. The solutions presented range from digital showrooms and innovative financing models to sustainable mobility concepts, all with strong practical relevance.
A highlight of the event is the "Startup Generation Award", where emerging companies pitch their groundbreaking ideas live on stage — offering a platform for the next generation of mobility solutions. The trade fair experience is further enhanced by exclusive networking events such as the “Automotive Dealer Night” and the “V-Party Event”, which provide a relaxed setting for meaningful conversations and new business connections.
Attendees come from every segment of the automotive value chain. Dealers, manufacturers, executives, service providers, consultants, and technology leaders use the Automotive Dealer Day to identify trends early, expand their networks, and set strategic directions. The event stands out for its combination of industry expertise, innovation, and international exchange.
The location also contributes to the event’s unique atmosphere. Verona, with its historic charm, outstanding cuisine, and excellent transport links — including Verona Villafranca Airport, the nearby motorway, and the train stations Porta Nuova and Porta Vescovo — offers ideal conditions for a fair of this caliber. Veronafiere itself impresses with its state-of-the-art infrastructure, spacious exhibition areas, and efficient logistics. For anyone looking to actively shape the future of automotive retail, the Automotive Dealer Day in Verona is a must-attend event.
The Automotive Dealer Day takes place annually, and therefore for the 22nd time previsibly in May 2027 in Verona.
