MOVE America 2026 Detroit — The Complete Guide to North America’s #1 Auto Tech Show (And How to Build a Booth That Gets Noticed)

September 23–24, 2026 | Huntington Place, Detroit, Michigan

If your company is involved in electric vehicles, autonomous technology, fleet management, EV charging, software-defined vehicles, or any part of the mobility ecosystem, there is one event in North America this September that belongs at the very top of your business calendar. MOVE America 2026 is coming to Detroit — the heart of the American automotive industry — and it is shaping up to be the most important gathering of mobility leaders on the continent.

Now in its seventh year, MOVE America has established itself as the premier commercial forum for auto, fleet, energy, and technology leaders driving the mobility revolution. If you are planning to exhibit, sponsor, or simply attend, this guide covers everything you need to know. And if you are looking to build a booth that makes the right impression in front of the biggest names in automotive and mobility, Interior Today LLC is ready to help you get there.

What Is MOVE America?

MOVE America is the number one auto tech show in North America. It is the event where the visionaries shaping the future of mobility come together to collaborate, innovate, share knowledge, and do business. The show covers three defining pillars of the mobility revolution: Electric. Autonomous. Software-Defined.

In practical terms, that means MOVE America brings together automotive OEMs, fleet operators, charge point operators (CPOs), technology providers, autonomous vehicle companies, energy leaders, government officials, investors, and startups — all under one roof in Detroit for two intensive days of sessions, live demonstrations, and networking.

The 2026 event takes place September 23–24 at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan — one of the most iconic convention venues in the automotive capital of the United States, located at 1 Washington Boulevard in the heart of downtown Detroit.

MOVE America 2026 Key Details

Dates: September 23–24, 2026

Venue: Huntington Place, 1 Washington Boulevard, Detroit, MI 48226

Format: Two-day conference and exhibition with networking events

Theme: Electric. Autonomous. Software-Defined.

Detroit is the perfect host city for this event. As the traditional center of American automotive manufacturing and increasingly a hub for next-generation mobility technology, Detroit brings the right energy and the right industry context to a show about the future of transportation.

Who Speaks at MOVE America 2026?

MOVE America 2026 features over 300 world-class speakers from across the automotive, fleet, energy, and technology sectors. The confirmed speaker lineup for 2026 includes some of the most influential executives in the mobility industry:

Eugene Moore — CEO, Applegreen Electric

Edwin Olson — CEO and Founder, May Mobility

Chris Haffenreffer — VP of Strategy Development, Enterprise Mobility

Jason Leon — Chief Technology Officer and VP of New Products, Ryder System Inc.

Javier Varela — COO, Rivian

This is not a lineup of junior managers and conference speakers. These are the operating executives making billion-dollar decisions about EV infrastructure, autonomous deployment, fleet electrification, software-defined vehicles, and the next generation of mobility technology. Getting in front of even a fraction of this audience over two days is genuinely valuable for any company in the mobility space.

Who Attends MOVE America?

MOVE America brings together the global decision-makers who are actively shaping the future of transportation. The attendee mix is deliberately broad across the entire mobility value chain, which is what makes this event uniquely valuable for exhibitors and sponsors.

You will find automotive OEMs from the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers. Fleet operators managing thousands of commercial and consumer vehicles. Charge point operators building out the EV charging infrastructure that the electrification transition depends on. Technology providers developing the software, hardware, and connectivity platforms that make modern mobility possible. Autonomous vehicle companies at every stage of development and commercialization. Government officials and regulators setting the policy frameworks that shape the entire industry. Investors looking for their next major mobility bet. Startups looking for partners, customers, and funding. And media covering every major development in space.

This cross-sector attendance is the defining characteristic of MOVE America. It is not an OEM-only event or a fleet-only conference or a startup showcase. It is the place where all of those worlds intersect — and where partnerships and business relationships are formed across traditional industry boundaries.

Networking at MOVE America 2026

MOVE America is built around the idea that the most valuable outcomes happen in conversations, not just in sessions. The 2026 event features several dedicated networking formats designed to maximize the quality and quantity of meaningful connections you can make in two days.

Networking Lounges — Both Days During Conference Hours MOVE America operates dedicated OEM, Fleet, and Energy lounges on the show floor. These are not general networking areas — they are curated meeting spaces where you can secure direct meetings with specific profiles. At MOVE 2025, the OEM Lounge hosted executives from Ford, Nissan, Scania, Volvo, and Daimler Truck. If you need a direct conversation with decision-makers from the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators, this is the format that delivers it.

Investors Lounge — Both Days During Conference Hours A dedicated area on the exhibition floor where the top investors in the mobility space set up shop for direct access to startups, scale-ups, and established companies seeking growth capital. If your company is raising a round or looking for strategic investment partners, this is one of the most efficient places in the world to have those conversations.

MOVE Groove Party — Wednesday September 23, 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM The official close of Day 1 is a social event designed to keep the energy high and the conversations going after the sessions end. Drinks, music, and the kind of relaxed environment where business relationships genuinely form.

MOVE Afterparty — Wednesday September 23, 7:00 PM until late Following the MOVE Groove Party, the Afterparty gives attendees the perfect environment to unwind and keep the networking momentum going. Casual conversations in this setting often turn into the most productive business relationships formed all week.
