      Many of the BIG car companies have stepped down from Brazil's main car show, same for the motorcycle's main event. I believe that it's the first step to each company create more experience focused events. Car companies have forgot that it has to be done for the public.

    I think that Switzerland made a mistake with the timing of the decision, they knew that the most important event of the year was taking place for their country and for the whole automotive world and canceling the event just a few days from the beginning is a economic disaster for everyone, motor show, manufacturers, media etc.

      @movax20h 4 года назад

      The federal government probably was expecting GMIS to cancel the event on their own weeks ago, but they didn't want to do it. So they stepped in. There is at least a half million visitors to each GMIS. There is now 55 confirmed cases as of today, and it was just few, few days ago. It was a right thing to do. Who will pay for losses, I don't know. I personally don't care for the GMIS, and learn more from online materials.

      Swiss Federal Council exercised their right, and put severse restrictions on public gatherings. All private and public gatherings, where health safety can't be guaranteed, with more than 1000 attends, were banned, for at least 2 weeks. This means GMIS just got canceled a day before opening basically. Many manufacturers will present their products online instead.
