The show has been held annually since 1900.[3] It was the first automotive exhibition in North America.[4]
The show was held at the New York Coliseum from 1956 to 1987 when the show moved to the Javits Center.[5]
Before the show opens every year, several auto companies debut new production and concept vehicles for the press. In addition, the Greater New York Auto Dealers Association (GNYADA) and the International Motor Press Association (IMPA) host corporate meetings and events. The World Car Awards typically announces its annual award winners as part of these events.
In addition to individual programs during the show, there are automobile related conferences, forums, symposiums, and other gatherings. The ten day event contribution to economy of the City and State is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.[6]
