American Dealer Group ANNUAL MEETING for 2017

Scheduled for march 10-12, 2017

The American Dealer Groups annual meeting for 2017 will be held at an exclusive private resort in Arizona called The Wigwam. The Wigwam stretches over 440 lushly landscaped acres. Featuring elegantly crafted adobe-and-timber luxury resort provides a rich palette of experiences. From dawn's first blush to the tangerine streaks of the Sonoran Desert sunsets each dat at the Wigwam is awash with endless possibilities.

The Wigwam Resort is located about 15 miles from downtown Phoenix and a 30-minute drive from Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). All activites are at the Wigwam Resort so if you choose not to rent a car it is possible to arrange transportation for airport travel.

The resort has three pools, including a brand-new main pool that features dual waterslides and luxury cabanas. An outdoor plaza features new dining options including an indoor/outdoor bar, loung areas and entertainment venue. The Wigwam includes the Southwest's only 54 holes of championship golf, including two of the state's four courses and with guests's access to five courses including the Arizona Biltmore Country Club. This year ADG will be including a round of golf with our vendor package.
