Overview of CAR MBS & 2025 Edition:

The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) returns with its flagship Management Briefing Seminars (MBS) 2025, scheduled for September 15–17 in Detroit, hosted in the iconic Michigan Central Station. This relocation signals a bold renewal, marrying automotive heritage with forward-looking mobility innovation.
The MBS platform is built to convene leaders across original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), suppliers, mobility services, government, and infrastructure, enabling connection at the nexus of policy, technology, and business strategy.

CAR’s 2025 tagline—“a new era, a new home”—underscores the intent to redefine expectation. MBS is positioning itself not merely as an industry conference, but as a decision-making engine: the place where executives, strategists, and policymakers gather to debate the future of mobility under one roof.

Content will explore major disruptions in the sector: electrification, autonomous systems, infrastructure, regulatory reform, and sustainable business models. Panel sessions and keynotes will examine how shifting global competition, supply chain sovereignty, and policy uncertainty challenge legacy businesses — and empower new entrants.

The agenda promises curated sessions across themes: policy and regulation, technology foresight, industry transformation, and strategic planning. CAR will deliver resources through the Whova app and partner portals — slides, video, and supplemental materials — ensuring attendees can revisit content long after the event.

Selecting Detroit and Michigan Central Station is deeply symbolic. It reflects a belief in returning to the roots of American mobility while leaning into reinvention. The venue choice embodies the tension the industry faces: honoring legacy while disrupting its own foundations.

For businesses and stakeholders, MBS 2025 offers several tangible value propositions:

Policy Intelligence: gain insights into regulatory trends, infrastructure planning, and legislative shifts critical to mobility investments.

Strategic Exposure: thought leadership, scenario planning, and competitive benchmarking beyond daily operations.

Network Leverage: depth of access — from OEM C-suite to technology firms to government actors — opening doors for partnerships, investment, and collaboration.

Content Longevity: recorded keynotes, slides, and materials will endure, making MBS a reference resource, not just a live event.

Ecosystem Alignment: bringing together fragmented actors in mobility to foster alignment around standards, strategy, and shared goals.

Challenges remain. The agenda is still in flux, meaning attendees must remain adaptable. Logistics of Detroit, legacy industry expectations, and maintaining inclusion for smaller firms will require careful curation and execution by CAR.

In short, MBS 2025 aims to be more than a conference — it wants to be a turning point in mobility strategy. By marrying Detroit’s symbolism with future-forward content, CAR seeks to reset how the auto/ mobility ecosystem convenes, defines direction, and collectively moves forward in an era of rapid transformation.

Biography:

I got into DJing through my interest in techno music initially in the early 90s when techno was becoming more and more established in the clubs! At that time especially at private parties with and 
at friends, my great interest and enthusiasm for DJing arose through the confrontation between turntable and mixer that arose here and there and thus also my interest in producing music or DJing.
I try to modernize and reflect the dark bunker sound of today's popular club sounds. The techno direction I produce is a bassfull and at the same time driving techno sound with interesting dark melodies and sounds and
underlaid with suitable effect sounds. My selection of songs that I use for my podcasts are techno songs that I have listened to, made a selection 
and what I like about it in terms of taste, of course based on the common and hip club beats and sounds. After a long break, the goal is to reestablish myself in the scene with good sets and sounds. The aim would also be to have contacts 
and opportunities again through our own increasing polarity in order to
perhaps support and further help and promote younger talents more easily, but I will never really stop mixing or producing music myself, only the
performances will improve over the years will definitely be less. 
But definitely not now!!!!!!....... hopefully there will be many more musicthings and joint projects with other colleagues, which I'm really looking forward too! Thank you very much for listening and to be honest I'm just overwhelmed by how many really like my music and recommend me to others! Really drives you, does you good and I'll definitely keep doing it for you Safe
