Why Exhibit at ACE

Three Days. Four Experiences. One Powerful Kickoff.

The Opening Days of Monterey Car Week

The Automobilia Collectors Expo is a premier destination celebrating automotive history and culture. Featuring an exclusive auction of rare automobilia and a vibrant expo of unique displays, this is the must-attend event for collectors and industry professionals during the start of Car Week.

 

The Gateway Advantage

As the kickoff to Car Week, we capture attendees when they are fresh and focused. Reach serious collectors before their schedules—and budgets—are committed to other events on the peninsula.

Why Timing Matters: By exhibiting early, you are the first brand attendees engage with. You secure their attention before the "event fatigue" of the later week sets in.

One Event. Multiple Touchpoints.

Exhibitors gain visibility across every experience at ACE 2026
