Convening on December 2-3, 2026, in Shanghai, China, the AIAG Asia Conference is strategically scheduled to align with Automechanika Shanghai, a massive automotive trade show. This alignment offers participants an efficient opportunity to engage with the broader global automotive community in a single trip.
Under the theme Go Global, Grow Local, the conference focuses on how the global integration of automotive supply chains relies on unified quality tools to ensure consistency, safety, and reliability worldwide. In an increasingly interconnected automotive industry, the expansion of manufacturing footprints across borders highlights the critical need for shared standards and mutual cooperation.
Rather than viewing expansion as a regional shift, this premier event in Shanghai emphasizes the power of global standardization to harmonize operations. By adopting common quality standards, manufacturers and suppliers from all regions can collaborate seamlessly, support local economies, and strengthen the collective health of the global automotive ecosystem.
This premier two-day event on December 2-3, 2026, in Shanghai will convene a distinguished and diverse audience, including quality leaders from over 25 OEMs, OE and aftermarket suppliers, new energy manufacturers, certification bodies, training and consulting professionals, government representatives, tech and R&D institutes, aerospace professionals, and industry associations.
This is a bilingual conference. Presentations will be available in both Chinese and English with on-site simultaneous translation.
