- Nuances to Press Conference Schedule Reflect International Auto
Show Trends
- Two Distinct Press Days on Monday, Jan. 10 and Tuesday, Jan. 11
Offer Never-Before-Seen Products and Technologies
Troy, MI - Dec. 22,
2010 - The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS)
today released additional press conference times
for the 2011 world-premier event to be held at Detroit's Cobo
Center Jan. 10-23. The 2011 NAIAS will feature press events
by more than 30 brands showcasing an anticipated 30-40 worldwide
debuts in addition to some of the industry's top suppliers and
related events.
In line with trends of other international automotive shows such
as Geneva, Paris, and Frankfurt, and to also accommodate customer
demand--both the auto manufacturers and the media who attend the
show--the 2011 NAIAS is making game-changing moves in how it is
scheduling the cadence of some of the world's most highly touted
worldwide debuts. As a reflection of the "new normal" in the
2011 automotive industry and an unprecedented demand for news
conference timeslots from the past two years, NAIAS will feature
two distinct press days.
The first Press day, Mon., Jan. 10, will
feature exciting worldwide, never-before-seen products, as well as
significant North American introductions which will steer the
direction of the industry for years to come. The
second Press day, Tues., Jan. 11, will showcase
highly anticipated innovative technological advancements by auto
companies and suppliers while including additional key product
unveilings. NAIAS officials note more surprises are on the
horizon and will be providing updates up to show time.
