EVIS America 2026 to bring global mobility leaders, technologies and industry perspectives to Toledo, Ohio
The future of transportation will take center stage in Toledo this November as EVIS America 2026 brings together industry leaders, technology innovators, policymakers, investors, and business professionals from across the United States and around the world. The event begins with industry tours on November 3, followed by the Conference and Innovation Expo at the Glass City Center on November 4–5, connecting global innovation with North American market opportunities.
Building on five editions of the Electric Vehicle Innovation Summit in Abu Dhabi, EVIS America makes its North American debut in a region with a deep automotive manufacturing heritage and a growing role in the future of transportation.
The conference will feature one Main Stage covering three themes: EVIS America, FutureFuelCON, and Mobility TechEX. Together, these themes will explore the technologies, policies, infrastructure, and investment shaping the next generation of transportation, spanning electric vehicles, alternative fuels, hydrogen, batteries, charging infrastructure, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, connectivity, and smart mobility.
Rather than treating these sectors as separate conversations, EVIS America is designed to bring them together through shared conference programming and an integrated exhibition floor. The format creates opportunities for attendees to exchange perspectives across industries, discover emerging technologies ,and build relationships with potential customers, partners, and collaborators.
“EVIS America represents an opportunity to connect the people and ideas shaping the future of mobility across local, national and global markets,” said Hesham Al Bahri, COO of Leading Events. “By bringing together complementary sectors of the transportation ecosystem, we aim to encourage meaningful conversations, foster collaboration, and help turn innovation into real-world opportunities.”
A global conversation in the heart of America’s automotive industry
Northwest Ohio offers a compelling setting for conversations about the future of mobility. With its established automotive supply chain, manufacturing expertise, and skilled workforce, the region provides a strong connection between transportation’s industrial foundations and the technologies transforming its future.
EVIS America will bring this regional perspective into conversation with international innovation, connecting US businesses and industry stakeholders with companies and experts working across the global mobility landscape.
Attendees will have opportunities to explore emerging solutions, hear expert perspectives through conference sessions and panels, and connect with organisations working across automotive manufacturing, energy, charging infrastructure, fleet management, logistics, research and development, and advanced mobility technology.
Three days of tours, conference programming and industry connections
EVIS America 2026 will feature a three-day programme designed to extend engagement beyond the exhibition floor.
● November 3: Industry tours offering behind-the-scenes perspectives on mobility, transportation, and manufacturing in Northwest Ohio.
● November 4–5: Conference programming, expert-led discussions, networking, and the integrated exhibition featuring companies and solutions from across the mobility ecosystem.
Through its combination of conference content, technology showcases and networking opportunities, EVIS America aims to create a setting where industry challenges can be explored from multiple perspectives and new business relationships can begin.
