The Virginia Automotive Association (VAA) is holding its 2010 trade show on Saturday, April 24, at the Marriott Hotel in Williamsburg, Va. The show will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The trade show is being held during the VAA’s convention, which will begin on Friday, April 23, with a golf tournament. Seminars focusing on management, training and selling will be held on Saturday. Paul Fiore, director of government and business relations for the Tire Industry Association, also will give attendees an update on what’s going on in Washington, D.C.
