Xponential USA 2026
Hosting XPONENTIAL 2026 in the Motor City underscores the event’s focus on progress and transformation. Known for its deep roots in mobility and its growing role in next-generation technologies, Detroit offers a dynamic backdrop for exploring the future of autonomy across air, land, and sea.
That momentum is further strengthened by the co-location of the Michigan Defense Expo (MDEX), hosted by NDIA’s Michigan Chapter. MDEX brings together more than 3,000 defense, government, and industry professionals advancing manufacturing, autonomy, and supply chain readiness, reinforcing Detroit’s role as a hub for national security and industrial innovation.
Detroit is not just the host city. It reflects the convergence of industrial capability, defense readiness, and autonomous innovation that defines XPONENTIAL 2026.
What’s Ahead?
XPONENTIAL 2026 builds on the momentum of 2025. This year’s event expands the experience with new opportunities, deeper dives into AAM, AI, maritime, and defense autonomy, and stronger collaboration between government and industry leaders.
From breakout sessions to keynote stages, XPONENTIAL delivers a front-row seat to the breakthroughs transforming how we move people, goods, and data. Whether you’re advancing policy, designing next-gen platforms, or scaling operations, this is the meeting point for the entire autonomy ecosystem.
You’ll connect with:
Engineers, executives, researchers, program managers, policymakers, and procurement leaders, and more from sectors including defense, public safety, infrastructure, energy, logistics, aerospace, and maritime.
