BOTH BUSINESS-LEVEL AND TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS WERE MADE FROM ROUGHLY 70 SPEAKERS. WHILE THE EVENT WAS NOT EXECUTED UNTIL JANUARY 2026, COVESA ALSO PREPARED FOR A SIGNIFICANT SHOWCASE AND RECEPTION EVENT AT THE CES 2026. THIS INVOLVED CONTACTING ROUGHLY 120 ORGANIZATIONS FOR PARTICIPATION AND SPONSORSHIP. ROUGHLY 80 ORGANIZATIONS AGREED TO PARTICIPATE AND/OR SPONSOR THE EVENT.
- COVESA CONTINUED TO ACTIVELY ALIGN WITH OTHER STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT AND COLLABORATIVE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING W3C, AUTOSAR, SOFFE, JASPAR, AND ECLIPSE SDV. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THIS COLLABORATION WAS TO PUSH ADOPTION OF THE VSS OPEN STANDARD INTO OTHER AUTOMOTIVE ORGANIZATIONS AND CONSORTIA.
