2026 MEMA OE Annual Conference & Expo

Two Days. One Mission: Supplier Success.

In an industry filled with uncertainty, suppliers need more than forecasts and presentations. They need a trusted place to connect, collaborate and navigate what's next.

That's why Annual Conference & Expo 2026 (ACE26) exists.

Every company in the supplier community plays A Big Part in shaping the future of mobility. ACE26 is where suppliers come together to strengthen partnerships, exchange ideas and collaborate on the challenges and opportunities defining the industry's future.

Taking place November 18 & 19 at the Vibe Credit Union Showplace (formerly Suburban Collection Showplace) in Novi, Mich., ACE26 is the flagship event of MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers and brings together the companies, customers and industry leaders that make up the vehicle supplier ecosystem. For two days, attendees gain direct access to executive perspectives, emerging technologies, purchasing leaders and strategic discussions that matter most to suppliers.

No other event brings together the supplier community in the same way.

Because no other event is built around the supplier perspective. 

Built by Suppliers. Focused on Results. 

Every supplier plays A Big Part in the automotive industry. ACE26 brings those contributions together through collaboration, innovation and meaningful business connections.
