"We also understand the immense planning needed for the automakers and their exhibit partners to construct a show of this magnitude," the association said. "Because of the uncertainty caused by the virus, we feel it would not be prudent to continue with the 2020 show and instead are preparing for an even greater 2021."
Following the widespread COVID-19 outbreak in February, all other major automotive events have been canceled, including the Geneva Motor Show, Detroit Auto Show and Monterey Car Week festivities. The next major US auto show is scheduled for Los Angeles in November, though it remains to be seen if that one will happen either.

"Although it currently has no patients, the facility remains set up as an active hospital and is in standby mode for the foreseeable future."
The next New York Auto Show will now take place from April 2 to 11, 2021, with press days starting on March 31. The rescheduled 2020 event had been expected to kick off on Aug. 26.
