Historic flashback to celebrate the 100th Annual General Meeting of the BMW Group. Since its establishment more than 100 years ago, the company has always generated new impetus from overcoming particularly difficult situations. Innovative strength and courage, determination and team spirit form the foundation for this innate spirit of renewal.
In light of current events and growing measures to contain the coronavirus, not to mention our duty of care towards our guests and staff, it is with a heavy heart that the Organisation Team of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este has decided not to proceed with this year’s edition on the planned dates (22nd to 24th May, 2020). Instead, we plan to hold the event from October 16th to 18th, 2020.
