LARGO, Md., July 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers (NAMAD) is partnering with vFairs to host a first-of-its-kind Virtual Mini-Conference (VMC), offering opportunities and support to minority auto dealers to help grow their businesses. The virtual event kicks off Wednesday, July 7th, with additional sessions each Wednesday in July. and will be open throughout the month of July.

NAMAD's VNC will feature virtual panel sessions related to important auto industry topics ranging from The Future of the Auto Industry to Electrification to Using Data as a Competitive Advantage. Sponsors and vendors include automobile manufacturers and suppliers, financial companies that support the industry, and associated companies that regularly work with dealerships.

Skill-building and scholarship opportunities are key points to be covered within the event.
