Assembly Summit - From Thesis to Throughput

​Assembly Summit 2026 — From Thesis to Throughput

​Together with the Automotive News Congress, we're bringing our 5th annual Assembly Summit back to Detroit on September 30, 2026.

​This year's theme — From Thesis to Throughput — is about the leap from bold ideas to real-world execution: the founders, operators, and investors turning frontier technology into industrial reality. Across a full afternoon of panels, live demos, and fireside discussion, we'll dig into the hidden champions of the industrial economy, the next frontiers of AI, the infrastructure powering space, and embodied AI moving from lab to line.

​Expect candid conversations, sharp company-building insights, and the kind of room where the mobility, automotive, defense, space, and industrial-AI worlds actually meet.
