The Auto Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia (ADAGP) is a regional trade association of new car and truck dealers in the Greater Philadelphia area. Think of us as an "educational clubhouse" for those working in the retail auto industry. We host important meetings, distribute key industry updates, and most recognizably, organize and produce the Philadelphia Auto Show.
About 190 area dealerships belong to our association and our allied Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation. The Auto Dealers CARing for Kids Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the ADAGP. Both organizations are comprised of the same members, but the ADAGP is responsible for all industry-related activities, while the Foundation spearheads all philanthropic giving.
