Buckle up, automotive enthusiasts!
The Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS) is back with a bang, roaring into the Palais des congrès de Montréal from January 19 to 28, 2024.
Sponsored by iA Financial Group, this 79th edition promises an electrifying experience, as major brands, including Ford, Lincoln, Genesis, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, and McLaren, make a triumphant return after a hiatus due to the pandemic.
VIP Preview Gala
A remarkable VIP evening was held on Thursday, January 18, 2024, as the Charity Preview Gala that kicked off the Montreal Auto Show, raising funds for five hospital foundations in the greater Montreal area.
By participating in this unique event, attendees made a difference for these foundations, each dedicated to improving healthcare in their community. The 2024 edition promised an exceptional experience with a sumptuous car display, thematic culinary stations, unprecedented attractions, a chance to win a trip to distant horizons in a draw, a silent auction with exclusive items, and plenty of surprises. Participants joined the health movement and were part of an unforgettable evening, made possible by valued partners.
A Re-invented Show:
In a bold move toward the future, MIAS organizers have reinvented the show, transcending the conventional boundaries of a typical auto exhibition.
Building on strategic reflections initiated in July 2023, the 2024 edition is not just about unveiling new models; it’s a celebration of mobility in all its forms. The automotive landscape is evolving, and so is MIAS, emerging as a hub where innovation, leisure, and motorized sports converge.
Luis Pereira, the executive director of the event, expresses the vision behind this transformation: “We aim to transcend the traditional image of the Montreal Auto Show by creating a space that showcases the various means of transportation available today. Our ambition is to offer visitors an enriching and comprehensive experience, meeting the expectations of car enthusiasts by presenting all aspects that might interest them.”

Many of these cars have never been seen at the Auto Show or at other events.”
