In the South, we are all about automotive, and we are proud of the cars we build! Dozens of major OEMs call the Southeast region home, including BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen, just to name a few. Add a flourishing network of Tier 1 and 2 suppliers, supporting manufacturers and service providers, and the South soundly establishes itself as an essential, thriving hub of the automotive industry.

Celebrating the South’s excellence in automotive manufacturing, the Southern Automotive Conference, or SAC, as we like to call it, is in a league of its own. Rotating annually between the states of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee, the SAC combines top-notch programming on automotive’s hottest headlines, high-energy networking opportunities and a buzzing exhibit hall. In 2024, we are Charging Forward as the SAC showcases how the automotive industry continues to transform and embrace innovation
