The new program will bring together race engineers, teams, manufacturers and emerging engineering talent in a working forum focused on real-world motorsports performance and innovation.
 

PRI will debut the PRI Motorsports Engineering Symposium, a one-day program taking place Thursday, December 10, during the 2026 PRI Show at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium. 

The program brings together race engineers, teams, manufacturers and emerging engineering talent in a working forum focused on real-world motorsports performance and innovation. Rather than a traditional seminar, the symposium emphasizes engineering challenges, performance solutions and cross-discipline collaboration, with a focus on how technical decisions translate directly to on-track performance. 

"The PRI Motorsports Engineering Symposium was created for engineers to learn, collaborate and network with motorsports industry professionals," said PRI Managing Director Doug Bresnahan. "At its core, motorsports is driven by engineering, and this program brings together the people solving real performance challenges every day. We are investing in the future of motorsports by expanding our focus on education, innovation and workforce development, strengthening PRI's role as the global hub for the industry." 

The PRI Motorsports Engineering Symposium is intended for race engineers, OEM engineering groups, manufacturers, performance suppliers, simulation and data companies, motorsports consultants and university engineering programs. 

"The industry has evolved, and the technical conversation needs a dedicated place to grow alongside it," said PRI Show Director Karin Davidson. "This program is about creating that space. It brings engineers, builders, and innovators together to share knowledge, challenge ideas, and move the industry forward. This is needed. PRI is creating a place for this conversation." 

Participants must be registered for the PRI Show and the Motorsports Engineering Symposium. There are no additional fees to attend the symposium. Registration for the PRI Show and the Symposium will open in July.  

The symposium further expands the PRI Show as the global leader for motorsports business networking, product innovation, industry education and professional trade relationships.
