International auto shows offer auto manufacturers a platform for showcasing their latest cars and trucks to an international audience. All the international auto shows held all over the world serve as a common platform for manufacturers to get together, share knowledge and expertise, and announce their plans to an eager world audience. In these shows, many of the automobiles that have captured the imagination of the world are unveiled for the world to see. This also becomes the place where dealers from the world over come together and have a live talk with the manufacturers. Negotiations take place during the days of the show and agreements worth millions of dollars are signed by various manufacturers with international dealers.
