Detroit Auto Show Transportation

The show occupies almost 1 million square feet of floor space for auto shows!! That's a whole lot of cars! This show has always been a very important show in the auto industry. Mainly because the show takes place in the heart of Detroit city, which is the location of the headquarters of the big three American automakers, Chrysler, General Motors, and Ford. It was held at other well-known establishments in the downtown Detroit area before it started being held at the Cobol center. Places such as the Michigan State Fairgrounds, Light Guard Armory, and Wayne Gardens Pavilion. This show has shown so much improvement over the years taking place in downtown Detroit. Since 1989 the show has introduced 1,359 vehicles, over 18 million people have been in attendance, over 124,000 media have covered the event, the financial impact of this show has been listed between $9.7-$10.1 billion and the number of NAIAS exhibits have grown to 216!

This show has raised more than $90 million for Detroit-area charities through their annual charity preview. In the past ten years alone, the show has raised $47 million. The NAIAS charity preview is the largest single-night fundraiser in the world, thanks to those who were generous enough to donate. The charity preview has donated to more than 125 charities, and 116 of those received donations from the DADA Charitable Foundation. The DADA Charitable Foundation is a fund of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan. The Michigan Legislature has commemorated the 25th Anniversary of the show and declared January 2014 as the Detroit Auto Show Month within the state of Michigan!
