This forum is the premier gathering for stakeholders committed to modernizing the outdated, paper-based processes that currently dominate vehicle transactions.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 Kansas City, 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.

• Hear from a visionary AI futurist: Don't miss the special keynote address from generative AI and machine learning expert, former executive at Google DeepMind and Intel, and thought leader Steve Brown, on how AI will reshape business, education, and society.

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

• Engage in targeted discussions and witness system demos designed to tackle the challenges and unlock the 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 significant benefit of our co-location with the NAAA World Remarketing Convention! This provides an incredible opportunity for cross-industry networking and learning, and eSTART attendees will also enjoy discounted NAAA registration rates.

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 heart of the Midwest, where the future of vehicle transactions is being built!
