KECSKEMÉT,
Four Points by Sheraton****
7-8/10/2025

Adapting to the future - New direction in the automotive industry

Join Us Again This Year for the Regional Automotive Supplier Conference – Our Traditional 2-Day Autumn Event!

As every year, our conference will feature insightful presentations, panel discussions, workshops, factory visits, and a professional exhibition.

As a regional license partner of VDA QMC, we are committed to making the knowledge collected by the German Automotive Industry Association available to industry professionals in Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia. This makes our conference a key platform for introducing the latest updates from VDA QMC.

Networking opportunities go beyond the coffee breaks—our dedicated B2B meeting room offers pre-arranged business meetings where attendees can connect with OEM and Tier 1 procurement representatives. This is a great opportunity to share insights, exchange ideas, and establish new business relationships with key industry players.

Our highly popular factory visits will be held again this year, offering participants the chance to visit leading companies and gain firsthand experience of their production processes.

A dedicated exhibitor area will be available for businesses looking to showcase their products and services to the right audience and establish valuable connections. If your company is targeting automotive suppliers and OEMs, this is the perfect place to present your offerings and connect with potential partners!

Don’t miss out—join us for this must-attend event in the automotive industry!
