The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) today announced official dates for the 2014 event, which will be held at Cobo Center in Detroit, January 13-26, 2014.

NAIAS 2014 will be presented as follows:

Press Preview - Monday and Tuesday, January 13-14, 2014
Industry Preview ­- Wednesday and Thursday, January 15-16, 2014
Charity Preview - Friday evening, January 17, 2014
Public Show - Saturday, January 18 - Sunday, January 26, 2014
NAIAS 2014 Chairman Bob Shuman said show dates are virtually the same as those for the 2013 event, which proved to be popular with journalists and manufacturers.

"We're extremely diligent about providing excellent customer service to patrons of the NAIAS," said Shuman. "The two week cushion between the holidays and our opening day is really appreciated by the thousands of people who cover, build and participate in the show."

Shuman, who recently led the NAIAS executive committee to the Geneva International Motor Show, and was a guest of honor at the Seoul International Motor Show in South Korea, along with NAIAS Executive Director, Rod Alberts, said based on recent meetings with automakers, the 2014 NAIAS is expected to be a spectacular, global event.

"What we've heard from our manufacturer partners in the last several weeks is that they'll be bringing even more worldwide product introductions, new exhibits and automotive technology so the energy we saw here just a few months ago will increase dramatically," Shuman said. "NAIAS 2014 will be an indicator of an increasingly confident, healthier automotive industry, and once again, all the industry news and excitement will be unveiled on the world stage right here in Detroit."
