Questions people ask
7 answeredThe next edition, Automotive Manufacturing North America 2027, is scheduled for 27-28 October 2027 in Detroit, MI.
Automotive Manufacturing North America (AMNA) 2026 took place 21–22 October 2026.
It was held at The Henry Hotel in Detroit, Michigan.
The published audience included automotive OEMs and suppliers, manufacturing and service providers, and manufacturing leaders and engineers.
It was most useful for manufacturing engineers and plant or digital transformation leaders at automotive OEMs and suppliers, since the speakers were billed as coming from Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Lucid Motors, Magna International and BorgWarner, and the focus was how producers adapt factories for new vehicle launches and quality demands. Professionals outside automotive, or buyers hoping for a large exhibition floor, would have gotten less from it, as the program was built around practitioner talks at a hotel venue in Detroit.
Automotive manufacturing conferences in Detroit usually see business casual, such as slacks with a collared shirt or company polo, and suits are uncommon. A jacket or layers suit Michigan in late October.
