If you’re an industry trailblazer, mobility disruptor or tech innovator, the 2025 Detroit Auto Show invites you to join in the conversation before media and industry at the Mobility Global Forum on Jan. 15 – 16 at Huntington Place in Detroit. Dynamic thought leaders in mobility, design, technology and talent are now being sought for the two-day Mobility Global Forum event that will include keynotes, panels and fireside chats with selected industry experts.
The Mobility Global Forum will be held in conjunction with Industry Days, two days of industry, mobility tech and talent collaboration complete with exclusive industry show access. Industry Days will see the return of AutoMobili-D, a technology showcase previewing the latest in mobility innovations. The two days will also feature an energized show focus on workforce development and retention, as well as cultivating student interest in careers within the industry.
Plans call for the 2025 Mobility Global Forum to feature powerful programming with insights honing in on the symposium’s overarching theme, “Convergence of Industry, Technology and Talent.” Presentations will be held on the Huntington Place Atrium and Grand Ballroom stages.
The most recent Mobility Global Forum in 2023 featured 32 presentations, including noted futurist Malcolm Gladwell as the featured speaker.
