This season, Worldbex Services International, the country’s biggest events and expositions organizer drives into Cebu, the Queen City of the South, for a round of some serious economic stimulation by way of unfolding the region’s vast and colorful trade sector.
Manifested by the rapid development in SMEs and the construction sector, the region’s automotive industry has been experiencing substantial growth. Serving as a vehicle to further drive up the economic activity, WSI presents the 8th Cebu Auto Show, which will be happening simultaneously alongside PHILBEX Cebu and CEFBEX on October 9 to 12, from 10am to 8pm, at the SM City Cebu’s Trade Hall and North Wing Grounds. In proper timing, the 8th CAS is poised to be the biggest gathering of brand new, classic, custom cars, and everything in between as it joins the two other expositions in a new and improved venue.
With nearly 100 exhibitors and over 60 car displays, this year’s CAS will occupy 3000 sqm of exhibition area for the brightest and flashiest display of the region’s auto industry.
A reflection of the region’s colorful trade potential, CAS will showcase just how vibrant and colorful the Visayan auto industry is, with a wide spectrum of toys for the big boys. From the most ambitious and imaginative concepts of local car makers and most coveted line up of foreign automotive giants, to an extensive presentation of car accessories, auto car care products, and more, the motoring event will surely rev up the industry’s market promotions and business transactions.
As the industry displays a consistent growth particularly in the commercial vehicle segment, CAS made sure to feature popular brands which will be conducting demos and motor clinics such as the likes of the California Eco Bike, Ford, Hyundai, Isuzu, Mazda, Meguiars, and new additions such as Mini and Volkswagen – all of which make for a truly dynamic and immersive auto trade show experience.
On the part of exhibitors, participating companies have stressed their admiration at the impact that CAS will bring forth for the local auto industry.
Ana Padilla of Mazda Cebu remarks, “The annual Cebu Auto Show has become the most anticipated car show event not only for industry enthusiasts but by the general public who have become more interested with the new products and trends being showcased.
She also mentioned the show’s influence in attracting new markets especially with its new and improved location, stating, “Next to Manila in terms of market dynamism, Cebuanos display a knack for new and advanced technology and design. In addition, the new home for the Cebu Auto Show should attract a wider group of audience who will surely be awed with the various offerings in the event.”
Proving its ground as a worldclass exposition, CAS prides in presenting innovations and trends that are relatively new to the market. In a statement by Michelle Silvano of Los Cabos International, she says, “ The Cebu Auto Show will be the first participation of Los Cabos Internatonal in the region and it is going to be exciting!We will be showcasing Eco-Bikes, an alternative way of transportation, environment friendly, cost efficient, and a lot more.”
On the chosen venue of this year’s CAS, she remarks, “This is also a great opportunity to introduce Eco-Bikes to all the Cebuanos, especially that it will now be held at SM City Cebu, which is ideal for an exhibit like this because of its popularity and accessibility.”
Setting its show apart from other run of the mill trade shows, CAS prides in engaging its attendees through its many insightful pocket events and activities. Anticipated year after year by auto enthusiasts are the car competitions that take place at CAS such as the Custom and Classic Car Competition.
Racing at the forefront of the Southern auto industry, CAS is positioned as a refueling avenue for exhibitors as well as visiting industry players. This season, ready your engines and head to the 8th CEBU Auto Show on October 9 to 12, from 10am to 8pm, at the SM City Cebu North Wing Open Grounds.
