MEET THE INDUSTRY LEADERS
AUTOMOTIVE AND BEYOND
Our event serves a variety of end-user industries. While we’re proud to be in the heart of the car capital, the region is also known for innovation across multiple sectors.

This focus sets our event apart, offering unmatched cross-industry collaboration and growth opportunities.
