The Geneva International Motor Show is set to make a comeback in 2024 after a prolonged hiatus caused by the global pandemic. Once a pinnacle event in the automotive calendar, attracting 600,000 visitors and 10,000 media representatives at its peak, the show lost its momentum as car manufacturers reevaluated the value of participating in such expensive and condensed exhibitions.
The 2020 Geneva show faced an abrupt closure due to the pandemic, and since then, it has been absent from the scene. However, the organizers and investors are breathing new life into the event for 2024. An interesting twist includes a spin-off event planned in Doha, Qatar, in November 2023.
Yet, the 2024 edition of the show is anticipated to be notably smaller than its predecessors. Several automakers have already confirmed their absence, and floorplans reveal a more compact layout. To optimize the available space, the show planners are introducing curated areas conceptualized by their team, such as the ‘adrenaline zone,’ ‘design district,’ and ‘mobility lab,’ featuring cars and interactive exhibits.
While some manufacturers won’t be present, a handful of new car launches are confirmed for the 2024 Geneva show, with potential additional announcements leading up to the event. Explore our A-Z car preview for the 2024 Geneva show, where we’ll keep you updated as new information emerges.
