SAC 2018 in Atlanta

Great to have SAC 2018 in Atlanta this week.

The South is the fastest-growing region in North America for automobile manufacturing and has the third largest gross domestic product in the world.


The Southern Automotive Conference (SAC) Oct. 3-5 at Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta is aiming at becoming an unforgettable experience. The event will provide networking opportunities, world-class speakers and breakout sessions designed to fuel careers and drive business forward.

Organizers expect more than 1,800 attendees, 300 exhibitors and a dozen-plus foreign manufacturer pavilions, which would make the event the largest SAC conference to date. The 2017 record-setting conference in Birmingham, Alabama, attracted 1,200 registered attendees and more than 180 exhibitors.

The event’s goals call for building on the success of previous Southern Automotive Conferences by adding new features and continuing to improve the experience for attendees.
