Auto@2030 Automotive industry future Megatrends convention

Auto@2030 Adria Unique automotive convention about future megatrends

Shifting customer expectations, new mobility offerings, and technological advances such as digitization, vehicle connectivity, and electrification are driving the transformation of automotive retail at an unprecedented speed and magnitude, radically changing the status quo. The current COVID-19 situation is further accelerating the ongoing transformation and leapfrogging the adoption of digitally enabled car buying and online sales models. Moreover, the current crisis raises the cost consciousness of OEMs and dealers and facilitates critical decisions on further outlet consolidation, leaner retail formats, direct customer access, and alternative sales models. 

Auto@2030 Adria Convention will speak about the megatrends affecting the automotive industry in years to come. As there are differences in current development stages in between markets, the aim of the convention is to compare the situation in developed European markets (focus UK) with the Adria region. Auto@2030 is organized as a platform of knowledge bringing together leading European and regional speakers that would add value to convention and bring more clarity on how to re-organize automotive business in years to come.
