Leadership Summit 2026
Driving clarity, collaboration, and innovation for the next era of mobility
Driving clarity, collaboration, and innovation for the next era of mobility
For 2026, we are expanding our VTW Europe content program to identify and interrogate the challenges and opportunities facing today's automotive landscape. At the heart of this program is our invitation-only Leadership Summit, a convergence of leading industry professionals and decision-makers tackling the most cross-functional challenges defining the next era of mobility: Software-Defined Vehicles, sustainability, supply chain resilience, customer experience and breakthrough innovation. These conversations go beyond technical silos, addressing leadership-level decisions that ripple across every commercial and engineering function.
Why does this matter? Because disruptive transformation demands more than incremental change, it requires synchronization between boardroom priorities and engineering realities, clarity across the value chain, and collaboration that turns complexity into competitive advantage. Sustainability, digital experience and resilience are the differentiators that will define who leads and who lags. The Leadership Summit is where alignment happens, where ideas become strategies, and where the industry’s next chapter begins.
