2026 Automotive Summit

We’re back for year two — the Automotive Summit returns to keep leaders ahead of what’s next. Join an afternoon built for real conversation, real connections, and real takeaways. Last year reached full capacity, so register early to secure your seat.

The automotive landscape doesn’t wait — and neither can your strategy. Across supply chains, capital, technology, and policy uncertainty, leaders are being asked to make confident calls with imperfect information. Last year’s summit proved that there’s value in getting the right people in the same room to compare notes and pressure-test decisions.

Now we’re back for year two — with even more momentum. Expect an afternoon designed for candid conversation, practical insight, and meaningful connections with peers who are navigating the same realities you are. While the full agenda and speaker lineup are still in development, you can count on timely themes, sharp perspectives, and a format built to keep the discussion moving.

Registration is limited and will close once capacity is reached. Register now to secure your seat, and we’ll update you with agenda and speaker updates shared as they’re confirmed.

What to expect:

“Engaging, relevant insights — plus a great opportunity to network with credible business leaders.”
Compiled from 2025 attendee feedback
