Program areas at Chicago Automobile Trade Association
For more than a century, the cata has stood for high principles of business. Its basic tenets remain as steadfast today as they were a hundred years ago: promoting honesty and dependability in business operations; employing truth and accuracy in dealer advertising; standing by guarantees; improving business methods and ethics and keeping competition fair so that dealers and the public are well-served; and refraining from practices detrimental to the industry or contrary to the public interest. Currently, cata dealerships employ more than 50,000 people in chicagoland. Over the past century, these locally based small businesses have provided good paying jobs for their employees, who, in turn, contribute to their communities. The cata's commitment to excellence in automotive retailing remains its core value and will remain so through the next century. First staged in 1901, the Chicago auto show is the largest auto show in north america and has been held more times than any other auto exposition in the world. 2021 will mark the 113th edition of the show. Since 1935, the cata has had the honor of presenting the Chicago show. Over the years it has grown with the city moving from the coliseum to the international amphitheatre to the original mccormick place and then to the current mccormick place. Today, the show occupies two exhibition halls with more than 1.3 million square feet of exhibition space. The Chicago auto show promotes the auto industry and the chicagoland new car dealers.
