Performance Racing Industry will debut the Motorsports Engineering Symposium on Thursday, December 10, 2026, at the PRI Show in Indianapolis.

The one-day program takes place at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium, aligning with the show’s opening day.

It targets engineers, manufacturers, teams, and emerging talent, with collaboration on real-world performance and innovation as the central theme.

Unlike broader seminars, the format emphasizes specific engineering challenges and the decisions that shape on-track outcomes.

Cross-discipline problem-solving sits at the core, encouraging data-driven debate and practical solution sharing.

PRI Managing Director Doug Bresnahan positions the program as a forum to learn, network, and exchange best practice across the technical community.

The audience spans race engineers, OEMs, performance suppliers, data and simulation firms, consultants, and university programs.

PRI Show Director Karin Davidson says the industry’s evolution demands a dedicated technical forum that challenges conventional thinking.

That need reflects shifting competitive landscapes and ongoing rule changes that regularly redirect engineering priorities.

Attendance requires PRI Show registration, with no additional fee for the symposium. Registration opens in July.

The PRI Show runs December 10–12 and continues as a global hub for product launches, education, and business connections.

It draws race teams, retailers, engine builders, fabricators, and media from all 50 states and multiple countries.

With booth sales already open, PRI reinforces its leadership among trade events focused on technology and competition.

The symposium underscores the sector’s emphasis on innovation and performance improvements through structured, technical collaboration.

For engineers, it offers a timely venue to share knowledge, benchmark solutions, and elevate execution ahead of the 2027 season.
