AutoMobility LA 2026 Announcement

The Los Angeles Auto Show has officially opened registrations for AutoMobility LA 2026, a key event scheduled for November 19, 2026. This event, which serves as a global platform for the automotive industry and media, will focus on three vital aspects driving today's automotive innovations: energy, autonomy, and entertainment.

The significance of this event cannot be understated. Not only is Los Angeles the largest vehicle market in the United States, but it also serves as a testing ground for autonomous vehicles and a hub for the entertainment industry. As such, conversations that take place during AutoMobility LA tend to resonate across the industry for the coming year.

AutoMobility LA was established in 2014 with the intent of merging the automotive and technology sectors. Over the past decade, it has evolved significantly, reflecting changes in consumer demands and automotive technologies. The 2026 event will showcase discussions around energy, autonomy, and entertainment, each with distinct programming, partners, and presentations throughout the fall.

Energy: The Driving Force

The Energy aspect of AutoMobility LA aims to address how vehicles are powered. In California, the automotive landscape is changing rapidly, with diverse power sources becoming the norm. Various fuel types are being embraced simultaneously as consumers seek more sustainable options. The discussion will provide insights into the economic implications and the state of infrastructure development, with Chevron serving as the main sponsor for this topic.

Autonomy: Beyond Functionality

When discussing autonomy, the focus has shifted from whether self-driving vehicles work to understanding the next steps in their integration into daily life. In Los Angeles, where autonomous fleets navigate city traffic, industry leaders will examine what autonomy means for consumers, businesses, and regulatory bodies. This segment will bring together developers and regulators to foster meaningful dialogue at a pivotal time when clear answers are still being formulated.

Entertainment: The Story Behind the Wheel

In Los Angeles, cars have always represented more than just a mode of transportation; they are integral to the cultural narrative. The entertainment segment will explore how perceptions of vehicles are shaped by films, streaming platforms, and video games long before consumers step into a dealership. This dialogue emphasizes the commercial relationship and creates opportunities for collaboration between tech and automotive companies.

AutoMobility LA is designed to be interactive, inviting automakers, technology firms, and brands across the three focus areas to present innovations and propose discussion topics.

As Terri Toennies, President of both AutoMobility LA and the Los Angeles Auto Show, stated, “The automotive industry has been gathering in Los Angeles every November for a reason. This is where companies can truly understand how their work is perceived, inspiring the products and collaborations that define the industry year-round. We are gearing the discussions around energy, autonomy, and entertainment as these are now the most pressing issues facing the industry.”

Registration Details

Media registrations are complimentary, while industry professionals can secure their spots for $149 until October 15, increasing to $249 thereafter. A comprehensive list of debutants and the full press conference agenda will be released in late October, with more details provided at the beginning of November.
