The Chicago Auto Show 2026 is North America’s largest automotive exhibition, attracting over 1 million total visitors, with a dedicated trade and industry segment during exclusive preview days prior to the public opening.
The trade program includes Media & Industry Preview Day and First Look for Charity, providing dealership leaders, fleet procurement teams, OEM executives, and industry stakeholders with early access to vehicle launches, technology showcases, and executive networking.
While the event is consumer-driven overall, Chicago Auto Show trade days function as a high-value B2B environment, where automotive professionals engage in fleet discussions, dealer inventory planning, partnership development, and strategic market positioning ahead of peak consumer traffic.
