The 88th International Motor Show will be held in Geneva from 8th March to 18th March 2018.

HISTORY :

The Geneva International Motor Show is Europe's only annual international motor show ranking among the global top five (alongside Frankfurt, Paris, Detroit and Tokyo) to be recognised by OICA (the International Organisation of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers). This special status enjoyed by the show is due not only to its excellent organisation and Geneva's international reputation but also to Switzerland's position as a country which has no car manufacturers of its own and so does not need to thrust any particular market players centre stage. As a result, all the car manufacturers participating in this event rightly feel they are operating on a level playing field in terms of their exposure and visibility. Apart from its ideal location in the very heart of Europe, the show's venue is literally right next to Geneva International Airport, a railway station and a motorway exit. Its design featuring all seven exhibition halls under one roof also gives it a very human scale, which is much appreciated by automotive industry leaders who gather at the show each year as well as the media and visitors who travel to the event from all over the world to discover the latest offerings and technological advances.
