Automotive Manufacturing North America Conference 2026

It takes place at The Henry Hotel in Dearborn, Michigan.

The organizer names manufacturing leaders, senior manufacturing executives, plant directors, functional leaders, automotive OEMs and suppliers among its audience.

It is most useful for plant directors and senior manufacturing executives at automotive OEMs and suppliers who want peer discussion on upgrading production, launching new vehicles and holding quality standards, with a long speaker roster and partners demonstrating production solutions. Buyers hunting for a large exhibit floor, or people outside manufacturing operations, would get less from it, since the focus is operational leadership in one region and the venue is a single hotel in Dearborn.

Attendees at automotive manufacturing conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt or blazer, with few ties. A light jacket is sensible for Dearborn in late October.
