Automotive Supply Chain Leaders to Convene in Nashville for ALSC Digital Strategies North America 2026

As the North American automotive industry moves from digital theory to large-scale operational execution, the third edition of Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Digital Strategies North America returns to Nashville for its third edition on June 9-10. Set against the backdrop of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the summit will gather over 150 senior decision-makers to address the tactical pressures of lead-time volatility and the urgent need for resilient, AI-driven ecosystems.

Under the 2026 theme, “Shaping connected, transparent and resilient ecosystems,”, the agenda is meticulously designed to help OEMs, Tier suppliers, and technology providers benchmark their digital roadmaps. With 2026 margins under pressure from global supply chain fragmentation, the event focuses on the practical implementation of real-time control towers, AI-driven demand forecasting, and cross-tier visibility.

The 2026 speaker faculty features a powerhouse lineup of digital architects from the world’s leading automotive brands, including:

• Subhasish Roychoudhury, Executive Director, Supply Chain Technology, Ford Motor Company

• Nikki Logsdon, Director of Demand Supply Planning & Scheduling, General Motors

• Paulo Monteiro, Head of Logistics, Volkswagen Group of America Chattanooga Operations

• Gerardo de la Torre, Regional Senior Director, SCM, Nissan Americas

• John Rich, Director AI Transformation, Mazda North American Operations

• Skotti Fietsam, Senior Vice President, Supply Chain and CIO, Accuride

These experts will lead sessions on integrating next-generation logistics systems (TMS, WMS, ERP) and advancing supply chain orchestration to position logistics teams at the center of strategic decision-making.

ALSC DS NA is renowned for its high-touch networking format, moving away from passive sessions to interactive, peer-led problem-solving. 

 A key highlight this year is a series of concurrent workshops led by Subaru, Mazda, Henkel, and AIAG, focusing on big data hurdles, IoT beyond AI, and the digital workforce skill gap.

With over 15 hours of structured networking, including two evening drinks receptions, networking lunches, and a dedicated 1:1 meeting app—the event provides technology and logistics providers direct access to confirmed attendees from General Motors, Rivian, Volkswagen Group of America, and Bosch.

A limited number of passes is left available, with complimentary VIP passes reserved exclusively for vehicle makers and Tier 1 suppliers.
