Grapevine, Texas—The Pronto Network has announced its 2026 Technology Conference, taking place October 6-9, at the Embassy Suites by Hilton DFW Airport North in Grapevine, Texas.
The conference will bring together Pronto Network automotive aftermarket distributors, technology leaders, service providers, and industry partners for four days of education, collaboration, and innovation focused on the technologies driving the future of the aftermarket.
Centered around the theme “Wired for the Road Ahead: Preparing Pronto Network Members for Tomorrow’s Technology,” the conference will provide attendees with practical strategies and learning opportunities designed to help businesses navigate an increasingly digital marketplace.
Topics will include artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analytics, password management, business intelligence reporting, digital cataloging, e-commerce technologies, and industry platforms that are transforming operational efficiency and customer experience.
The event will feature general sessions, breakout workshops, networking opportunities, technology demonstrations, and vendor engagement designed to help attendees stay ahead of rapidly evolving industry trends.
Educational sessions will focus on real-world applications of technology that can improve business performance, strengthen security, enhance data visibility, and support long-term growth.
The conference will be headlined by keynote speaker AJ Bubb, Founder and CEO of MxP Studio and host of Facing Disruption. Known for bridging the gap between AI hype and practical, shop-floor application.
Bubb will offer a grounded perspective on where AI is real, where it is noise, and how aftermarket businesses can move forward with technology without losing the relationship-driven strengths that make them successful.
To maximize value for attendees, The Pronto Network scheduled its Technology Conference to immediately follow the MEMA Technology Conference, taking place October 4–6, in Frisco, Texas. This timing allows attendees to continue the conversation in North Texas through Pronto Network’s member-focused programming, including an exclusive Town Hall featuring technology executives from the Automotive Parts Services Group.
More than 40 featured sessions will address critical topics such as cybersecurity best practices, AI-powered analytics, secure password management, GroupNet and Qlik Sense reporting capabilities, business intelligence applications, and optimization of aftermarket technology platforms.
Attendees will also have opportunities to network with peers and technology experts while exploring solutions that can help drive operational excellence across their organizations.
Pronto Network members interested in attending the 2026 Technology Conference are encouraged to contact Pronto Network Headquarters for additional information and registration details.
