February 10th, 2014  |  Auto Insurance

The Toronto Auto Show is a huge event. There is so much to see and so much to do that if you want to do everything that you are interested in, you need to have a strategy. While most people go to the auto show with an idea of what they want to accomplish and see, having a strategy can ensure that you don’t leave disappointed.

The first thing to get clear is your reason for going to the auto. Are you going for fun? Are you looking at new cars that you might want to purchase? Are you covering the event for work? The reason you are going will have an impact on how you approach taking everything in.

Another thing that you need to factor into your decision is time. How long are you planning on going? Just for the day? Are you planning on attending multiple days? Which days are you attending? When you go and for how long could have an impact on your ability to see certain displays or demonstrations.
