Geneva Motor Show arrives every year in Geneva, Switzerland like clockwork. Editions usually run over the course of eleven days around spring, most often in March. Comité Permanent du Salon International de l'Automobile serves as the official organiser of the event with duties split with the Palexpo, which serves as the official host of the event. The trade show admits both professionals and the public.
Doors open at 09:00 am and close at 19:00 pm, but these are subject to change based on the support program during Geneva Motor Show. Palexpo is well-connected to public transport with access to train lines and roads. We also can’t forget that the Geneva Airport sits minutes away on foot.
We can back this claim with numbers. Last edition garnered the attention of over 600,000 visitors in total. Because doors are open to everyone, you have a very healthy mix of industry professionals and car enthusiasts who want to experience the magic created by some 180 exhibitors in person.
Although significant in size, we have to say that the audience is predominantly European with the biggest numbers coming from Switzerland and France in equal parts (40%). The rest we have from Germany, Italy and other European countries in smaller percentages.
If we’re to look at the purely professional audience, we see insiders from diverse backgrounds – automobile manufacturers, smaller constructors, designers, suppliers and preparation specialists.
