The Michigan Automotive Summit—it's that time of year again! It's time for the automotive industry’s foremost thinkers and leaders to take the stage in Detroit and (once again) prove why #MichiganIsAuto.
The MICHauto Summit is an annual conference focusing on how Michigan can leverage its automotive heritage to lead the research, design and manufacturing of next-generation mobility technology.
Whether you've attended the Summit in the past or your a first-timer, there's something exciting for everyone:

Connectivity. 3-D Printing. Cybersecurity. It's like something out of your favorite comic books! These new technologies are completely altering the traditional ways vehicles are designed and brought to market. At the Summit, hear how automotive leaders are embracing these rapid and widespread changes in order to thrive in the industry’s next era.
2. See How Michigan Wins the Global Mobility Race

3. Experience Riding in a Connected Vehicle
