Nio Day 2024 candidate cities will need to have venues available for 10 consecutive days from December 1, 2024 to January 15, 2025 that can accommodate at least 8,000 people.

Nio (NYSE: NIO) has begun the process of identifying the host city for Nio Day 2024 as the year draws to a halfway point.

The company announced today on its mobile app that the process of determining the host city for Nio Day 2024 has officially begun, with specific details.

"Nio Day, is an annual gathering of Nio and its users and friends. Since its inaugural edition in 2017, it has become our common holiday," the company wrote in a post on the Nio App.

Since 2020, Nio has left the decision of the city where Nio Day is held in the hands of its users, it said.

In the past four years, 17 cities have participated in the bidding for Nio Day events, according to the company.

As in the past, Nio requires that new candidate cities have not hosted Nio Day in the past eight years.

Candidate cities need to have venues available for 10 consecutive days from December 1, 2024, to January 15, 2025, that can accommodate at least 8,000 people, according to Nio.

Nio car clubs in different cities can submit their interest in applying between June 14-19, and the Nio Day organizing committee will conduct preliminary venue surveys from June 20-23.

On July 6, the Nio Day organizing committee will nominate three candidate cities in preparation for the user voting process.

From July 12-19, Nio will showcase the three cities on its channels including Nio App, Nio Radio.

From July 19-21, users can vote for the host city they support in the Nio App.

Nio held its first Nio Day on December 16, 2017 in Beijing to launch its first production model, the ES8.

The last time the event, Nio Day 2023, was held in Xi'an, Shaanxi province in northwest China on December 23, 2023, when Nio unveiled its executive flagship sedan, the ET9, with deliveries set to begin in the first quarter of 2025.

There are no clues as to what new models or technologies Nio will unveil at Nio Day 2024. There will be no new model releases from the Nio main brand in the years before Nio Day 2024.

The company launched its sub-brand Onvo (Ledao in China) on May 15 and began pre-sales of the L60, the first model under the new brand.

A regulatory filing yesterday revealed information about the core specifications of the Onvo L60.
