SAC 2023 will mark the 16th year for the conference that serves the automotive industry associations and companies based in the southern region, namely Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, as well as the Southern Automotive Women’s Forum (SAWF).
The conference rotates between four states each year, from Alabama to Georgia to Mississippi and Tennessee, and then repeats the rotation. The hosts of SAC represent a governing group called the Southern Automotive Manufacturing Alliance (SAMA) which exists to promote the automotive manufacturing industry across the South and to foster growth.
The SAC has grown in stature and attendance every year mirroring the phenomenal rise in companies locating their facilities in the region including game-changers like Mazda Toyota, Rivian, Ford (Blue Oval), and Tesla.
The southeastern United States continues to boast the fastest-growing automotive industry in North America. Known for its world-class automotive production and sound business environment, the region’s supply base has thrived while OEMs and major suppliers continue to invest.
The Southern Automotive Conference (SAC) selected the Beau Rivage Resort in Biloxi, Mississippi for the 2023 event.
