Locals know of it as the Detroit Auto Show, but the annual event of all things new in the car world is known by a different name. A key car event for consumers, manufacturers, dealers and everyone inbetween, the North American International Auto Show brings all aspects of the auto industry to one place. One of the largest media events in North America, 5,000 journalists are expected to attend.
