Chairman’s Welcome
It’s hard to believe that the Houston Automobile Dealers Association has put together the Houston Auto Show for 40 years! And, that I’ve been the Chairman for just as long. I’ve seen us come from the Astro Hall, to the Astro Arena, to being the first event held in NRG Center. It is amazing that we’ve continued to grow and support the Houston community for so many years.
While vehicle technology has come a long way, the essence of our event remains. We aim to educate the public on the latest and greatest in today’s vehicle options so everyone can make an informed decision about their next car or truck purchase. Or, develop an aspiration for their dream car.
This year’s new presenting sponsor, Evolve Houston, is a testimony to the growth of our event and our industry. Their name is fitting to what is taking place in the automotive world, too. We’re all evolving. The electric vehicles at this year’s show will really display today’s vehicle innovations.
Evolve Houston is a coalition aiming to make clean air transportation a reality for all Houstonians.
We encourage guests to experience an electric vehicle test drive and learn more about EVs in Evolve’s showcase on the show floor. They’ll be able to answer your burning questions and show you how this new technology works and benefits our community.
Another long-lasting event in Houston has been the Houston Boat Show, now in its 68th year. It was an amazing combination last year to join the two events together, and we’re back again for another fun-packed AutoBoative Show in January. For just $20, guests get into these two great family events where they can test drive more than 40 different vehicles, pet a dog with Subaru or jump aboard a new dream boat, and even go trout fishing in the giant fish tank. So, whether you prefer land or sea, or longstanding family traditions, this year’s event will be loads of fun.
We can’t wait to see you at the Houston AutoBoative Show!
