The Geneva International Motor Show is an annual auto show held in March in the Swiss city of Geneva. The show is hosted at the Palexpo, a convention centre located next to the Geneva Cointrin International Airport. The Salon is organised by the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles, and is considered an important major international auto show. [1]
First held in 1905, the Salon has hosted almost all major internal combustion engined models in the history of the automobile, along with benzene- and steam-powered cars from the beginning of the century. Exotic supercars often steal the spotlight during their debuts at the show. Prototypes, new equipment, technical breakthroughs, international partnerships, as well as political and social debates, have been announced at the exhibition. The show is regarded as a level playing field for the world's automakers, aided by the fact Switzerland lacks an auto industry of its own. [2]
Areas of the show:
The International Advanced Mobility Forum is the Geneva Motor Show forum on the mobility of the future. [3]

The 90th Geneva Motor Show was planned for 5 March to 15 March, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when Switzerland imposed a limit on gatherings of over 1,000 people. [5]
