TROY, Mich., Dec. 22, 2010;; The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) today released additional press conference times for the 2011 world-premier event to be held at Detroit's Cobo Center Jan. 10-23. The 2011 NAIAS will feature press events by more than 30 brands showcasing an anticipated 30-40 worldwide debuts in addition to some of the industry's top suppliers and related events.
In line with trends of other international automotive shows such as Geneva, Paris, and Frankfurt, and to also accommodate customer demand--both the auto manufacturers and the media who attend the show--the 2011 NAIAS is making game-changing moves in how it is scheduling the cadence of some of the world's most highly touted worldwide debuts.

The first Press day, Mon., Jan. 10 , will feature exciting worldwide, never-before-seen products, as well as significant North American introductions which will steer the direction of the industry for years to come. The second Press day, Tues., Jan. 11, will showcase highly anticipated innovative technological advancements by auto companies and suppliers while including additional key product unveilings. NAIAS officials note more surprises are on the horizon and will be providing updates up to show time.
