Welcome!

Get ready to accelerate the future of automotive title and registration! The eSTART Modernization Forum (eMF) is coming to Nashville, Tennessee, from October 20-21, 2026, co-locating with the Electronic Signature & Records Association (ESRA).

Registration now open and anyone* can attend!

Registration Fees:

• $249 Early Bird Registration

*Registrants do not have to be eSTART members. The eMF is open to anyone who’d like to attend.

This forum is the premier gathering for stakeholders committed to modernizing the outdated, paper-based processes that currently dominate vehicle transactions. We're bringing together a dynamic mix of government agencies, industry partners, associations, and leading automotive organizations – including thought leaders from both industry and DMVs – all dedicated to a more efficient, secure, and customer-friendly future.

In Nashville, you'll have an unparalleled opportunity to:

• Collaborate with innovative leaders and fellow colleagues who are actively shaping the digital transformation of title and registration.

• Explore the latest advancements in electronic signatures, electronic submission and processing, and seamless digital transfers of vehicle records.

• Engage in targeted discussions and collaborate to tackle today’s challenges and unlock tomorrow’s potential of a fully modernized system.

• Network with key decision-makers and experts from across the country, building connections that will drive progress in your own state and organization.

• Maximize your experience: Take advantage of the benefit of our co-location with ESRA! This provides an incredible opportunity for cross-industry networking and learning, and eSTART attendees will also enjoy attendance at ESRA sessions.

The eSTART Modernization Forum isn't just about learning; it's about actively contributing to the movement that will save consumers and the auto industry valuable time and money. Don't miss this crucial event in the Music City, where the future of vehicle transactions is being built!
