Performance Racing Industry (PRI) will debut the PRI Motorsports Engineering Symposium, a one-day program taking place Thursday, Dec. 10, during the 2026 PRI Show at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium.
The program will bring together race engineers, teams, manufacturers and emerging engineering talent in a working forum focused on real-world motorsports performance and innovation, event organizers stated in a press release. 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.”
Who Should Attend the PRI Motorsports Engineering Symposium
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, noted the release.
“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.”
Registration & Attendance Details
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, according to event officials.
