Taking place from January 19 to 28, the 2007 Montreal International Autoshow will have a totally new layout designed to make it easier for visitors to take in the latest models on display. Organizers say that level 7 will become optional while visitors will be able to circulate more freely throughout the exhibition.
The new layout is designed to allow visitors to get more from their visit. MIAS President Jean-Francois Brault says "When they come to the Auto Show, visitors who have a purchase in mind prefer to go directly to a specific area
in order to compare vehicles, without necessarily having to visit the entire exhibition. With this new layout, we are convinced we will meet their needs."
Tickets will be purchased on level 1, as was the case in previous years. The main entrance once again will be on level 2, though moved in front of the escalators which lead to level 5. Level 5 houses the optional part of the exhibit.
These options consist of either visiting the fifth level, then descending to the second level where they could exit the show, or ascend back up to level seven. The second option is a trip directly to level seven, followed by a descent through levels 5 and 2 to complete the trip.
One can see the potential for mass confusion, though the improvements made this year ensure this will not be the case. Directional signs will be posted, and the visitors will benefit from increased on-site personnel to guide them.
