The Decisions That Will Shape the Next Decade of Automotive: A Conversation with Magna CEO Swamy Kotagiri
Join the Automotive Press Association and the Society of Automotive Analysts for a moderated conversation
with Magna CEO Swamy Kotagiri on how automotive leaders are making critical decisions in a more uncertain, capital‑constrained environment.
As the industry balances near‑term performance with the need to invest in what’s next, Swamy will share Magna’s perspective on how shifting demand, evolving supply chains, and regional dynamics are reshaping decision‑making in real time—across customers, programs, and markets.
The discussion will explore how OEMs and suppliers are navigating these trade‑offs: where priorities are changing, how capital is being allocated, and how companies are continuing to invest in next‑generation vehicle architectures, including software‑defined platforms, while maintaining operational discipline today.
The session will take the form of a fireside chat moderated by Nora Eckert of Reuters, followed by audience Q&A.
Agenda:
8:00–9:00 a.m. — Networking breakfast (optional)
9:00–10:00 a.m. — Presentation, fireside chat, Q&A
10:00 a.m. — Event concludes
