Vibe Credit Union ShowplaceQuestions people ask
5 answeredIt took place October 7–9, 2026.
The conference was held at Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi, MI.
Automotive IMDS, regulatory compliance, and sustainability professionals were the intended attendees.
Automotive staff who handle IMDS entries, regulatory compliance or sustainability reporting got the most from it, since speakers were scheduled from Toyota Motor North America, Ford Motor Company, Stellantis and Cummins, with sessions on PFAS, EPR and IMDS changes. Both newcomers to IMDS and experienced users were addressed, but people outside automotive supply chains would find little relevant, and executives wanting broad strategy may prefer a wider event.
Attendees at automotive compliance and supplier conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt, and a light jacket helps for Michigan in October.
