Arena International has announced the launch of the GlobalData Automotive Europe Conference 2025, taking place on 15-16 October in Munich — Europe’s hub for automotive and data-driven transformation.
Under the theme “Driving Automotive Innovation Through Data”, this event will bring together top-tier executives and thought leaders from OEMs, Captives, Banks, Mobility Companies, Suppliers, and AI innovators to explore how data is revolutionising every aspect of the automotive value chain — including motor finance.
As the industry transitions toward electrification, connected mobility, and autonomous vehicles, the conference will serve as a critical platform for motor finance professionals to assess how emerging trends and data technologies are reshaping vehicle ownership models, residual values, and asset lifecycle management.
