Why Attend the European Automotive Dealer Summit 2025

The premier European forum exclusively for automotive distributors.

The European Automotive Dealer Summit is the only high-level 
gathering designed for the leaders of Europe’s top dealer groups. 
This year, in close collaboration with Automotive Mobility Europe (AME)
the Summit goes beyond discussion: it is about defining a common European roadmap 
that reflects the priorities and ambitions of distributors.

Why this year is different
🔹 Access to the highest decision-makers
Gain direct insights from CEOs of Europe’s Top 5  automotive manufacturers, alongside European     
Commissioners, Members of the European Parliament and senior officials from the European Commission.

🔹 Strategic debates that matter to distributors
Plenary sessions focus on the most pressing issues for dealer groups:
  • The 2035 objective – what electrification and decarbonisation really mean for distribution.
  • Global competitiveness – how Europe’s dealer networks can remain strong in the face of US and Chinese advances.

🔹 Dealers shaping Europe’s roadmap
Through exclusive AME Roundtables, distributor leaders will work together to define three clear priorities in each of the following areas:
  • Representation in Brussels – ensuring dealers’ interests are heard at the highest level.
  • Economy, innovation & data – tackling digitalisation, new business models and access to vehicle data.
  • Decarbonisation – supporting distributors in adapting to EVs, hydrogen, e-fuels and the circular economy.
The outcomes will feed directly into AME’s official  European roadmap – validated and adopted during the closing plenary.

🔹 Networking that counts
Every aspect of the Summit is designed for meaningful, senior-level exchanges:
  • A networking lunch with policymakers and industry leaders.
  • Roundtable discussions reserved for distributors.
  • Coffee breaks and evening networking moments in a confidential, high-level setting.
Why should you attend?
  • Influence: Ensure the dealer perspective shapes European regulation and strategy.
  • Insight: Access intelligence from policymakers, CEOs and leading consultancies.
  • Action: Leave with a clear roadmap for distributors, not just ideas.
  • Exclusivity: Join a select circle –  participation is limited to the most influential dealer groups in each European market.
