The 2011 New York International Auto Show parks April 22 - May 1, 2011 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. The premiere launch in 1900 makes this event America’s first auto show, which also attracts the biggest attendance.
The Show is presenting “some of the hottest cars and trucks ever seen all under one roof,” with “more sneak peeks, more brand new '11 & '12 production models and more concept vehicles than ever before.”
This year the show has new hours: Monday through Saturday the show is open until 10pm, with Sundays now going to 7pm.
And there is a lot going on, even for those who don’t fancy themselves motor mavens -- such as having their picture taken with characters from the new Disney movie Cars 2, so they can look like they do.

The Go Green Expo returns to Los Angeles April 15 - 17, 2011 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in 
Downtown LA, California.
Launched by Bradford Rand and his team at Expo International, the idea was conceived after he viewed the film An Inconvenient Truth. As a producer of over 800 shows & job fairs since 1993, he knew that a showcase of all of the latest and greatest eco-friendly products would make for a solid new trade show.
He was right. The Go Green Expo has become one of the nation’s premier eco-friendly events, with each expo featuring more than 250 exhibitors, more than 50 speakers and nearly 10,000 attendees.
