Where the Future of Automotive Software Takes Shape
About the Event
The automotive world is shifting gears — fast. Software isn’t just powering vehicles; it’s redefining them.
The Eclipse SDV Working Group invites you to an exclusive, invitation-only executive breakfast at Conrad Resorts World Las Vegas during CES 2026. This private forum unites senior leaders from across the global automotive and tech industries for one purpose: to shape the next chapter of open collaboration in the software-defined vehicle era.
Join this event to be part of the announcement how this initiative is supported strongly from industry leaders. If you’re driving the software transformation in automotive, this is where you need to be.
In June 2025 during the 29th International Automotive Electronics Congress (AEK) 11 companies have signed an MoU for joint software development based on open source curated by the VDA.
