MIAS Wired 2020

MIAS Wired 2020

The Manila International Motor Show (or MIAS) is the country’s biggest and longest-running motor show, which first opened its doors to the public in 2005. The spectacle attracts more than 100,000 people yearly and features some 1,000 partner brands and associations. Last year, the spectacle drew a record 142,000 people to its old haunt, the World Trade Center in Pasay City. 

However, the original 2020 schedule last April was scuttled with the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nonetheless, MIAS will still happen this year -- pivoting to a digital format for the first time from December 16 to 20.

Now called MIAS Wired, the activities and spectacles will be accessible through a dynamic channel of an “interactive platform” where brands and enthusiasts will get to experience the same excitement they expect from MIAS.

Attendees will be able to check out the latest car models, get insider access to virtual showrooms, learn about the latest innovations and trends in all things automotive, and even “meet possible partners and network in the automotive industry.”

Events are also lined up for car enthusiasts. 

"As we gear towards the next normal in staging events, the support of the biggest brands in the local and international automotive arena is present even with the recent pandemic crisis," said MIAS organizers in a release. "Taking the next step further through the first virtual automotive show with the most exciting features and activities while keeping our fans at the edge of their seats.  The country’s top car brands, car accessories, automotive technology, and car enthusiasts alike will be the first to witness this kind of collaboration under one virtual event."
