Last February 2026, we host our annual event in Europe, in Munich, the automotive capital city in Europe.

Although the company travel restrictions, the intense competition we are all facing in our daily activity, we see the need for connection and networking. Innovation is still driving our business with a lot of new technologies from light sources, semiconductors, Software, raw material companies. We need to follow the trend, to be award about what is coming. And then, where to go? DVN seems to be one of the places. That’s why 620+ automotive lighting experts joined this event. Just for that we would like to thank you for your trust in our platform.

The conference agenda was focused on what’s next?

For this purpose, we organized a design contest with design school to have their fresh view about what may come in 2035. We organized also a dedicated session about optical design, EE strategy, simulkations tools that may incorporate AI and a deep dive session about illuminating grills, incorporating films, ink and a lot of new technologies.

It’s not easy to watch in a crystal ball, but we have some datas. S&P shared during a keynote some interesting figures about the automotive market and more especially the lighting markets.
