Leaving for La-La Land

The Washington Auto Show team is off to see and be seen (cuz that’s what you do in LA) at the LA Auto Show. Press Days start tomorrow, and DC’s show leadership will be checking out the swirl of innovations and meeting with friends and colleagues. In short, we’re on top of it. We’ve got our ears to the ground or whathaveyou to be sure the DC show blows it out of the water.

The LA show is big on design. In fact, “Design Los Angeles,” a conference for automobile designers, takes place at the show, and features a high-profile competition and a soiree at The Conga Room at LA Live. Let’s Conga!

Mitch Bainwol, Auto Alliance President, will be delivering the Welcome Address. Takashi Yamanouchi, President and CEO of Mazda Motor Corporation, will give the Motor Press Guild Keynote Address.

Stay tuned for pics and deets from LA. Automotive Rhythms, a longtime partner with our show, will be taking video of the latest and greatest products on display, and we will bring you their coverage of what’s headed to D.C.
