The Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) is the largest auto show in Indonesia. It was started in 1986 as the Gaikindo Car Exhibition, then continued as Indonesia International Motor Show.[1] Since 2015, the GIIAS was spun off from the Indonesia International Motor Show and is held annually at Indonesia Convention Exhibition in Tangerang, and also as series in Surabaya, Medan and Makassar.[2][3][4][5]

In 1989, the exhibition changed its name to Jakarta Auto Expo. In 1994, after being postponed for two years due to the government’s tight money policy, Jakarta Auto Expo was back and in 1996, the exhibition reached a record-breaking achievement compared to the previous years, attended by more than 200,000 visitors.

In 2000, Jakarta Auto Expo changed its name to Gaikindo Auto Expo after being postponed for 3 years in a row due to Asian Financial Crisis.
