CDN returns to China for 2027

Join over 200 automotive design leaders as Car Design Dialogues Shanghai returns on 27 April 2027, taking place alongside Auto Shanghai.

Designed as an informal, high-level gathering, the event offers a rare opportunity to connect with peers across the global OEM design community. From established studio leaders to emerging voices shaping the next generation of mobility, Car Design Dialogues creates a space for open conversation, shared perspectives, and meaningful connection.

Building on the success of previous editions in Shanghai and Beijing, the 2027 event will once again bring together the people behind the work — those defining the future of automotive design across exterior, interior, UX and CMF.

Registration opens soon.
