May 24-26, 2027 | Saint John’s Resort | Plymouth, MI
For over six decades, the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) has hosted the industry’s most essential retreat. In 2027, we return to our roots in the heart of Michigan’s mobility corridor with a reimagined experience where policy, technology, and economic innovation intersect.
Where the Automotive Industry Comes Together
Management Briefing Seminars (MBS) is the Center for Automotive Research’s flagship annual automotive industry conference, bringing together executives, policymakers, researchers, suppliers, technology leaders, and other key stakeholders from across the automotive ecosystem.
As the North American automotive industry navigates rapid changes in technology, manufacturing, policy, global competition, investment, workforce, and consumer markets, MBS provides the research, context, and industry perspectives leaders need to better understand what is changing, why it matters, and what comes next.
Research. Perspective. Dialogue.
Grounded in CAR’s independent automotive research, MBS combines data-driven insights with executive perspectives, strategic discussions, and meaningful networking.
MBS 2027 will take place May 24–26, 2027 at Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth, Michigan.
The event will include:
-
May 24: Pre-conference activities and an evening welcome reception
-
