Your AADA at Work

In this focused 25-minute Main Stage session, AADA CEO James Voortman will provide delegates with a clear view of the work AADA is doing to advocate for Australia’s franchised new car dealers. The session will cover key advocacy priorities, important announcements, recent studies and the growing benefits of the AADA Dealer Academy. James will also recap the 2026 AADA Lifetime Achievement Award winners, first recognised at the Chairman’s Dinner, and look ahead to the issues, opportunities and initiatives shaping the next 12 months. It is a concise update on AADA’s work, impact and direction.
