What is Intelligent Vehicle Expo North America 2026?
Intelligent Vehicle Expo North America 2026 runs October 27-29, 2026 at Vibe Credit Union Showplace, Novi, Michigan, USA. UKi Media & Events, a division of CloserStill Media, organises the event, which was formerly called Autonomous Vehicle Tech Expo. The organiser promotes 100+ industry solutions for this edition.
Vehicle Tech Week North America integrates three leading technology expositions. Automotive Testing Expo and Automotive Design & In-Cabin Expo are the two named co-located events.
Who is the 2026 expo designed for?
Intelligent Vehicle Expo North America is limited to industry professionals and names OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 Suppliers among its audience. Its published scope includes AI and software-defined vehicles plus Autonomous and assisted driving systems. These facts establish both the professional audience and the vehicle-development focus.
When does the Novi event run, and when does the floor close?
The expo runs October 27-29, 2026. Its FAQ lists a 5:00 PM close on October 27 and another 5:00 PM close on October 28. October 29 closes at 3:00 PM. Tuesday and Wednesday therefore provide the two longest published floor windows, at eight hours each.
The separate official opening-times page gives conflicting closing times. This draft uses the FAQ schedule while retaining that conflict in the evidence ledger.
How is each day scheduled at Intelligent Vehicle Expo North America 2026?
The FAQ schedule provides eight hours on October 27, ending at 5:00 PM, and eight hours on October 28, also ending at 5:00 PM. October 29 provides six hours and ends at 3:00 PM. The calculation is 8 + 8 + 6 = 22 published hours across three days. See the daily event-planning method.
What venue layout is published for Intelligent Vehicle Expo North America 2026?
As of September 16, 2026, the official show-layout and exhibitor-zone pages do not expose a usable hall name, floor dimensions, pavilion map or booth-number plan in the captured material. The venue itself is verified, but a detailed internal layout cannot be stated without adding information that the organiser has not published in readable form.
What travel details are verified for the Novi venue?
As of September 16, 2026, the organiser's travel page includes stale references to San Jose and Stuttgart that conflict with the verified Novi location. The page does not provide a dependable airport distance, transit fare, parking price or shuttle route for this edition, so no city-transfer instructions are presented as 2026 facts.
Is expo and conference registration free in 2026?
The organiser offers a free expo pass for Intelligent Vehicle Expo North America 2026. Its conference is also free and is promoted with over 25 industry experts. Registered delegates do not need to book each session separately and may arrive at sessions as required. Seating availability remains the practical constraint.
Which age, professional and press access rules are published?
The event is restricted to industry professionals and admits attendees aged 16+ years or older. The official FAQ states, “No, you do not need to book onto each session.” These are the current public access rules; badge pickup hours, cancellation fees and exhibitor badge allotments are not stated in the captured pages.
Active press members qualify for a free press pass, although the application is deferred until the page says “When registration opens.” Event logos and banner files are available for press, sponsors, speakers and delegates.
Which official housing service covers the Novi edition?
FHTglobal is the official accommodation partner for Intelligent Vehicle Expo North America 2026. The organiser links to the edition-specific booking path at uki.fht.global/atenovi26. FHTglobal lists +1 954 702 6897 for accommodation support. No nightly hotel rate or housing deadline appears in the captured evidence.
Can a reliable arrival and departure plan be calculated for the 2026 expo?
No. As of September 16, 2026, the checked travel and FAQ pages do not provide a reliable airport transfer time or current Novi transport instructions. Because those inputs are required to calculate safe arrival and departure windows around the first opening and final close, this draft does not manufacture a travel timetable.
Which exhibitors are already visible in the official directory?
The official 2026 directory lists LHP EUROPE LLC, bitsensing Inc. and Parallel Domain. These three entries confirm that the live roster contains engineering-services, imaging-radar and simulation companies. They are examples from the current directory rather than a complete list because the captured page does not expose a dependable exhibitor total.
How complete is the 2026 exhibitor directory data?
As of September 16, 2026, the official exhibitor-list and show-layout pages expose named companies but no reliable total for listed exhibitors, no count of product categories and no identified planner platform. Those missing values prevent a defensible calculation of directory coverage or target-list size, so no total is inferred from page length.
What does the conference cover, and which speakers are listed?
The Intelligent Vehicle Conference is described as a free 3-day technical conference organised around three critical pillars. Its published speaker roster includes Aman Fatehpuria, Siddharth Menon and Steve Surhigh. The programme therefore has named contributors alongside its software, deployment and interoperability themes.
Which published windows can hold meetings during the expo?
The FAQ provides eight hours ending at 5:00 PM on October 27 and eight hours ending at 5:00 PM on October 28. October 29 contributes six hours ending at 3:00 PM. The organiser confirms an official drinks reception and an app with meeting appointments plus the full schedule of essential networking events, but no reception time. See the meeting-window planning method.
Which audience signals are useful for ICP matching?
The organiser promotes 1000+ attendees and 25+ speakers, while naming OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 Suppliers among the intended audience. The published subject list includes AI and software-defined vehicles. These are organiser-supplied signals rather than an audited breakdown of job titles or company sizes.
Can attendees per exhibitor be calculated for this edition?
No defensible ratio is available as of September 16, 2026. The organiser publishes a promotional attendance figure, but the official home page and exhibitor directory do not provide a current exhibitor total for the same edition. Without that denominator, attendees per exhibitor and any derived target-account coverage number would be invented.
What functions does the official event app provide?
The official app supports meeting appointments and carries the full schedule of essential networking events. It also provides exhibitor listings and overviews, and the organiser says it will be available approximately six weeks prior to the event. The app is documented as a planning and networking layer.
Where does the official event planner stop and lead capture begin?
As of September 16, 2026, the official app page documents appointments, schedules and exhibitor listings, while the checked exhibit, inquiry and exhibitor-zone pages do not identify a 2026 lead-retrieval product. A factual planner-versus-capture boundary cannot name a scanner, vendor or export workflow until current-edition service material becomes public.
What verified exhibiting costs are public for the 2026 expo?
None are public in the checked material as of September 16, 2026. The official exhibit, inquiry and exhibitor-zone pages do not publish a booth rate, corner premium, sponsorship price, service cost or freight deadline. The event's three-day duration does not supply a monetary input, so no exhibiting-cost estimate is inserted.
How many show hours should a booth team cover?
The FAQ closes at 5:00 PM on October 27 and 28, then at 3:00 PM on October 29. The 8 + 8 + 6 schedule gives 22 hours. At B2Brain's benchmark of 31 scans per productive rep-day, two reps cover 62 scans daily and 186 across three days. See the booth-staffing calculation method.
Is an official 2026 lead-retrieval tool documented?
No current-edition tool is proven as of September 16, 2026. The official exhibit, exhibition-inquiry, booth-requirements and exhibitor-zone pages were checked, but none names a lead-retrieval vendor or product for the Novi edition. This evidence status leaves the vendor UNKNOWN and prevents a scanner name from appearing in the page.
What lead-capture fields and export limits are documented for this event?
No event-specific specification is available as of September 16, 2026. The checked organiser pages do not publish captured badge fields, export formats, integration options or per-device limits for a 2026 scanner. Those details depend on a proven official tool, and Q21 remains an evidence gap rather than a vendor record.
Can B2Brain be compared with the official event scanner?
Not on current evidence. A product comparison requires at least two verified facts about the event's official scanner, but the organiser's checked 2026 pages do not name one. Without a vendor, product, price or documented function, a side-by-side claim would invent the event half of the comparison.
Can exhibitors choose between B2Brain and an official scanner?
No event-specific decision rule can be calculated as of September 16, 2026. The official pages do not provide a scanner price, order deadline or device policy for the Novi edition. Those missing inputs prevent a supported choice among an official tool, B2Brain or a combined workflow, so no recommendation is stated.
Which qualification fields match the event's published audience and topics?
The organiser names OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 Suppliers as audience groups, which supports employer tier and vehicle-program role as capture fields. AI and software-defined vehicles can supply a software-architecture topic field. Autonomous and assisted driving systems can supply an autonomy-stage field. These fields derive from this event's taxonomy.
What does the published scale imply for lead quality per floor hour?
The organiser promotes 1000+ attendees. The FAQ gives eight hours ending at 5:00 PM on October 27 and eight on October 28, followed by six hours ending at 3:00 PM on October 29. The total is 22 hours, and 1000 divided by 22 is about 45 attendees per floor hour, compared with 31 scans per productive rep-day. See the lead-quality calculation method.
When do the event's follow-up windows fall?
The event runs October 27-29, 2026, and the FAQ closes on October 29 at 3:00 PM. Using B2Brain's lead-decay figures, the two-hour routing window ends at 5:00 PM on October 29; one week after close is November 5, 2026. See the follow-up timing method.
Can a verified event ROI calculation be made for this edition?
No. As of September 16, 2026, the checked exhibit, inquiry and exhibitor-zone pages publish neither a booth cost for a stated size nor a verified event-specific revenue input. The available three-day schedule is retained, but cost per booked meeting and return on investment are omitted because the required monetary values are unavailable.
