We received an email on Wednesday confirming the media day for the 2012 Australian International Motor Show, to be held in Sydney this year, will go for a full day. That’ll be on Thursday 18 October and gives the manufacturers more time to impress hacks like us.
More importantly, the motor show won’t open to the public until the following day, so they’ll also have overnight to rearrange their stands. You’ll then have 10 full days to check out the show for yourself.
“We have received positive feedback from exhibitors on the decision to keep the Thursday exclusively for media and industry,” Show Director, Russ Tyrie said.
“Many are taking advantage of the change conducting multiple on-stand launches and presentations for staff, dealers and key customers during the afternoon.
“Furthermore, this decision also provides the general public with the added benefit of having an extra full day on the Friday to enjoy the Show.”
