WEBINAR: Peak Reality Check: What Shippers, Analysts, and AI Models Are Predicting for 2026

The automotive industry is entering a new era of supply chain collaboration; one

driven by connected data, shared intelligence, and standardized digital

ecosystems.

In this special webinar, Scott Luton of Supply Chain Now sits down with Kevin

Piotrowski and Jim Liegghio of Automotive Industry Action Group to explore the

major trends reshaping automotive supply chains and why CATENA-X is rapidly

becoming one of the industry’s most important transformation initiatives.

As the official North America hub for CATENA-X, AIAG is helping OEMs, suppliers,

and technology providers move beyond disconnected systems and fragmented

data toward secure, standardized collaboration across the value chain. The

conversation will unpack why data sharing is no longer optional, how leading

organizations are connecting systems that were never designed to work together,

and why CATENA-X momentum continues to accelerate globally.

Scott, Kevin, and Jim will also discuss practical use cases already delivering

measurable results across supply chain visibility, quality, efficiency, traceability,

and corporate responsibility, as well as what supply chain leaders should do now

to prepare for evolving OEM expectations and digital requirements.

Whether you are already exploring CATENA-X or simply trying to better

understand the future of automotive supply chain collaboration, this session will

provide practical insights and actionable takeaways for navigating the industry’s

next major shift.
