Every year, hundreds of local and national events offer regional automakers the opportunity to showcase and discuss their latest innovations while elaborating on their future plans. However, the world’s largest consumer and automotive events and trade shows provide a wide array of innovations, presentations, and new technology reveals from automotive leaders, consumer electronics giants, and start-ups scaling the industry. For 2024, SBD Automotive has re-introduced its Premium Event Report series and will send experts on-site to cover CES 2024 (USA), Mobile World Congress 2024, as well as Auto Shanghai 2024 (China). These events together have major implications for the automotive industry and provide a platform for its companies to showcase their latest innovations, products, and partnerships.

While mapping out these implications, our Premium Event Report Series identifies which of the event’s announcements are vaporware, and which represent true production commitments. Ahead of each event, a Pre-Show summary report will provide a brief summary of its pre-announcements and what to expect on the show floor. The report also identifies which start-ups exhibiting at the event have automotive and mobility potential alongside the most relevant announcements from OEMs, suppliers, and other players.
