The automotive industry has spent the last decade building software-defined vehicles. The next decade will be shaped by intelligence-defined ecosystems: connected networks of vehicles, enterprises, and partners that continuously sense, learn, adapt, and create value grounded in the physical world.
In this keynote, Yasmine King will challenge automotive leaders to look beyond individual technology debates and consider a more fundamental question: how can organizations recognize structural change early enough to adapt?
Through examples spanning contextual experiences, prognostics, edge intelligence, and connectivity, she will explore how intelligence can improve experiences, reliability, decision-making, and lifecycle value across vehicles, enterprises, and the broader ecosystem.
The session will also examine why intelligence cannot scale through technology alone. Building intelligence-defined ecosystems requires trusted data, adaptive architectures, and ecosystem collaboration.
Yasmine King, Corporate Vice President, Head of Automotive Business Unit, Analog Devices
• Close the speed-to-market gap with next-gen operating models by breaking down silos and adopting faster, software-centric development to compete with Chinese OEMs building vehicles in half the time
• Turn SDV complexity into a competitive advantage by leveraging AI, data, and ecosystem partnerships to deliver differentiated experiences while controlling cost and risk
• Protect profitability in the transition to SDVs by balancing software innovation with affordability pressures, supply chain volatility, and rising development costs

Aftermarket is one of the biggest profitability levers in automotive, but capturing it is getting harder. 70% of B2B buyers now prefer to purchase online, expecting speed, transparency, and convenience, but when genuine parts aren't easy to order digitally, buyers go to whoever makes it easiest, including non-genuine alternatives. And the damage goes beyond parts: a frustrating service experience makes customers less likely to buy their next vehicle from you. In this hands-on session, you'll stress-test your own parts buying experience against a real buyer scenario, benchmark against peers, and see how leading manufacturers built digital platforms that empower dealers and grow revenue. You'll walk away with:
• A clear view of where your parts revenue is leaking today, and why you can't see it.
• A practical framework to move from dealer locator to digital commerce, without channel conflict.
• A readiness check for the next shift in B2B buying: AI-driven procurement.

From Visibility to Velocity: Building the Decision-Intelligent Supply Chain Control Room - Hosted by Genpact
• Transform signals into better decisions: Unite fragmented data from suppliers, plants, logistics, planning, and customers within an AI-powered Control Room that converts real-time signals into enterprise-wide priorities and decisions.
• Move beyond visibility to decision intelligence: Combine predictive insights, root-cause analysis, scenario evaluation, and guided recommendations to help teams understand what happened, why it matters, and what action to take next.
• Create better outcomes through coordinated execution: Enable cross-functional teams to detect risks earlier, decide faster, and act with confidence—improving resilience, customer service, cost, and profitability.
• Overcome perceptions that EVs compromise on performance by showcasing instant torque and agile control to expand its appeal to your customer base.
• Expand beyond superior performance and tech forward features to deliver a tranquil driving experience valued by car buyers through advancements in hardware technologies

Invite Only: Beyond the SDV: Building the Intelligence-Defined Ecosystem. What Will Define Automotive Winners in the next decade?
The automotive industry has spent the last decade transforming vehicles through software, connectivity, electrification and AI.
Â
Yet as these technologies become more widely adopted, competitive advantage is shifting from individual innovations to an organization’s ability to sense change, adapt quickly, and create value across a broader ecosystem.
Â
• In this interactive workshop, senior automotive leaders will:
• Explore the structural shifts reshaping the industry
• Discuss what capabilities will separate winners from followers in the years ahead
• Examine emerging signals, leadership priorities, ecosystem strategies and the decisions companies need to make today to remain competitive in 2030 and beyond
Yasmine King, Corporate Vice President, Head of Automotive Business Unit, Analog Devices
• Align silicon, OS, middleware, and applications into a unified stack to eliminate fragmentation and enable consistent performance across vehicle platforms
• Accelerate software deployment and validation by leveraging virtual environments, AI-enabled simulation, and cloud-native development to reduce costly late-stage rework
• Future-proof your architecture for continuous upgrades by building flexible, service-oriented layers that support OTA, AI integration, and evolving customer demands without redesigning the vehicle

Beyond the CAD File: Cross-Functional AI Workflows That Move Teams from Concept to Approval FasterÂ
In an era where traditional development cycles are no longer enough, moving beyond the isolated CAD file is critical for speed and innovation.
This interactive workshop explores how leveraging an AI Data Platform (Snowflake) can transform product development by enabling cross-functional, agentic workflows across engineering, purchasing, planning, and design.
Â
Through peer-to-peer discussion and real-world problem-solving, we will examine how improved data collaboration can dramatically shrink timelines from concept to approval.
Join us for a collaborative session focused on overcoming industry challenges and setting a new standard for development efficiency.
AI is moving off the screen and into the physical world. In vehicles, factories, and across everything that moves, intelligence now has to sense, decide, and act in real time, often in places a best effort connection was never built to serve. This shift, physical AI, is where the next wave of value sits for automakers, and it is also where the gap between a promising pilot and a production reality gets exposed. This closed door roundtable brings a small group of automotive leaders together to work through a practical question: what does it actually take to run physical AI at scale? We will get into how connectivity and compute work together, what edge inference and real time decisioning demand of the network, and the journey from where OEMs sit today to where the market is heading. The conversation is candid and outcome focused, built to surface where to start now rather than to sell a finished answer.
