Raptor Innovation Summit 2026

September 30 – October 1, 2026 | Detroit Symphony Orchestra

COME TO SET DIRECTION. LEAVE WITH THE BUILD PLAN.

 Engineering for What Comes Next

2026 SUMMIT THEME: ENGINEERING WHAT'S NEXT

The future of mobility is evolving on multiple fronts: electrification, hybridization, autonomy, connectivity, defense, commercial vehicle and off-highway systems, even motorsports. But critical systems need to keep operating across long lifecycles. And customers need to balance competing technologies and shifting market conditions. There’s no single roadmap for what comes next.

 

This year’s Innovation Summit is designed for engineering leaders navigating that complexity in real time.

WHY ATTEND?

Across two days, attendees will explore where mobility is heading and how engineering teams can prepare for the next step.

 

Day 1: The Big Picture examines the forces shaping the industry and the engineering ecosystem evolving alongside it. Day 2: The Build Plan focuses on practical execution through production-grade tools, OpenECU and Raptor-based control strategies, and hands-on technical sessions across the full stack of mobility shifts. 

 

Throughout the Summit, attendees will have full access to our Partner Showcase of project-focused solutions and hands-on demonstrations, including the Electrified C7 Corvette Grand Sport. Hear, see, and lay hands on this vehicle: the first example of what’s possible when our most closely partnered companies (New Eagle, Helix, and Xtrac) come together as a unified team.

 

See how OpenECU and Raptor platforms continue to support flexible, real-world embedded control systems across today’s changing mobility applications. We may not know exactly what comes next. But with our growing brand family and community of partners coming together to share their ideas and experiences, we’re ready to engineer whatever does.
