This edition of MUF GJAW will be hosted at ICE BSD City in Tangerang, a shift from its former venue at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC). The event will occupy six halls at ICE BSD City, effectively doubling the exhibition space compared to the previous year, and will showcase a diverse array of exhibitors. Taking place from November 22 to December 1, 2024, MUF GJAW aims to enhance year-end sales and is anticipated to play a significant role in the expansion of the national automotive market. Yohannes Nangoi, Chairman of GAIKINDO, emphasized that the primary objective of MUF GJAW 2024 is to bolster the development of Indonesia's automotive sector in light of current challenges. "We aspire for MUF GJAW 2024 to be a pivotal occasion for the automotive industry, offering various conveniences and exclusive deals for consumers," he remarked. With the backing of GAIKINDO member brands, MUF GJAW 2024 will feature an array of engaging programs for attendees.

MUF GJAW 2024 will take place across six halls at ICE BSD City, featuring 80 exhibitors, which include 28 brands of passenger cars, 12 motorcycle brands, and over 40 brands from the supporting industry. The exhibition, themed "Home of 1,000 Cars and Excitement," aims to provide visitors with an unforgettable experience, highlighting the latest automotive innovations and a variety of interactive motorsport activities. Rizwan Alamsyah, the third chairman of GAIKINDO and the event organizer, envisions MUF GJAW 2024 as more than just an automotive exhibition. He remarked, "We are offering exceptional year-end deals to ensure consumers gain maximum value from their vehicle purchases." The event will feature a festival atmosphere that combines innovation, technology, and engaging entertainment, making it convenient for attendees to explore, test drive, and buy vehicles. Attendees can look forward to a dedicated area for test drives and rides, minimizing wait times and allowing them to experience a range of four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicles. The event will also host thrilling activities, including a parade of thousands of cars, a Modification Contest, a Dyno Contest, the MUF GJAW Underground Meet Up, as well as drift and off-road competitions.
