Next to thrilling exhibitions by our partners\, the week will also feature two inspiring conferences on the topics of CMF\, UX & Brand\, and Lighting\, offering a platform for thought leaders to explore the future of design and mobility. \nThis year\, DVN is glad to collaborate with Konzepthaus to co-organise the Lighting conference. Lighting has become a big topic during the last year in our automotive lighting design world. Talking about automotive lighting in Milano\, mixing designers from different horizon (transportation\, architecture\, fashion) will bring interesting discussions and fresh ideas into our automotive lighting world. \nGlad to have Forvia Hella as sponsor for the conference. \nPANEL 1: Exterior Lighting as Brand Language: from Design Identity to Technological Enablers \nLighting has become one of the most recognizable elements of a vehicle’s identity. From distinctive daytime running lights to animated welcome sequences\, exterior lighting now plays a central role in defining how a brand is perceived on the road.This panel explores how lighting evolved into a powerful design signature. How do designers balance creativity with regulatory and engineering constraints? And how can brands maintain a clear visual identity as lighting possibilities continue to expand?Our panelists will discuss how design and technology intersect in modern lighting development and how exterior lighting is shaping the future language of automotive and mobility design. \nPANEL 2: Interior Lighting as Spatial and Emotional Design: Atmosphere\, Comfort and Perceived Quality \nAs vehicle interiors transform into multifunctional spaces\, lighting is becoming a key element in shaping how these environments are experienced. Beyond simple illumination\, interior lighting now influences atmosphere\, comfort\, and the perceived quality of a space.This panel examines the role of lighting in creating emotional and spatial experiences inside vehicles. How can designers use light to define zones\, enhance materials\, and support different moments of use from focused driving to relaxed travel? In what ways does lighting contribute to the feeling of a living space rather than a purely functional cockpit?We will explore how lighting helps turn mobility interiors into environments that feel intuitive\, comfortable\, and increasingly comparable to domestic spaces. \nPANEL 3: Lighting-driven UX: how Light Shapes Interaction\, Safety and User Perception \nLighting is no longer only about visibility or decoration. Increasingly\, it acts as an interface between the vehicle and its users\, communicating information\, guiding attention\, and supporting intuitive interaction.This panel focuses on the growing role of lighting within the user experience. How can light help users understand vehicle functions and systems without relying on traditional displays? What role does lighting play in communicating safety\, status\, or intent both inside and outside the vehicle? And how can designers ensure that lighting based interactions remain intuitive rather than overwhelming?Our panelists will discuss how lighting is evolving into a core component of mobility UX and how thoughtful design can transform light into a meaningful communication tool. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAccess\n\n\n\nVenue: Talent House\, Milan URL:https://www.drivingvisionnews.com/event/lighting-ux-brand-conference-haus-of-automotive-x-dvn/ LOCATION:Talent House\, Via Tortona 31\, Milan\, Italy\, 20144 CATEGORIES:Interior ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.drivingvisionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Capture-decran-2026-04-03-110611.png ORGANIZER;CN="DVN":MAILTO:ebonnet@drivingvisionnews.com GEO:45.4516152;9.1626355 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Talent House Via Tortona 31 Milan Italy 20144;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Via Tortona 31:geo:9.1626355,45.4516152 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260325 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260326 DTSTAMP:20260602T214305 CREATED:20260319T145752Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260527T111106Z UID:10000025-1774396800-1774483199@www.drivingvisionnews.com SUMMARY:DVN Detroit Design Talks DESCRIPTION:Download event flyer\n\n\n\nADD TO YOUR AGENDA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDVN Design Talks – March 25\, 2026\nNewlab\, Detroit\, US \nWe are pleased to invite you to our first-ever DVN Design Talks to talk\, listen\, and learn about topics centrally relevant to our lighting and interior communities: lighting\, materials\, and design. \nThe idea is to exchange and share approaches with different eyes\, ears\, experiences and back- grounds\, and to learn from each other. \nThere’ll be four round tables of 45 minutes\, with a 5-minute speech and panel discussion. 15-minute coffee breaks during each session\, and a cocktail hour and dinner starting at 7:00 pm will give ample opportunity for networking and discussing the afternoon’s proceedings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAccess\n\n\n\nVenue: Newlab\, Detroit URL:https://www.drivingvisionnews.com/event/dvn-detroit-design-talks/ LOCATION:Newlab\, 2050 15th St\, Detroi\, Michigan\, 48216\, United States CATEGORIES:Interior ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.drivingvisionnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/picture_DVN_talks_2026.png ORGANIZER;CN="DVN":MAILTO:ebonnet@drivingvisionnews.com GEO:42.3286509;-83.0760223 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Newlab 2050 15th St Detroi Michigan 48216 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2050 15th St:geo:-83.0760223,42.3286509 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260114T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Rome:20260115T173000 DTSTAMP:20260602T214305 CREATED:20251217T073859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260510T194424Z UID:10000005-1768402800-1768498200@www.drivingvisionnews.com SUMMARY:DVN Torino Interior Workshop 2026 DESCRIPTION:Download event flyer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10th DVN Torino Interior Workshop – January 14-15\, 2026\nMuseo Nazionale dell’ Automobile\, Torino\, Italy \nSOCIAL COCKTAIL & DINNER • CONFERENCE • PANEL DISCUSSION • EXPO \nNEXT-GEN AUTOMOTIVE INTERIORS: WHERE CMF\, LIGHTING AND SUSTAINABILITY CONVERGE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCar interiors have evolved far beyond mere functionality—they now reflect the convergence ofluxury\, advanced technology\, and individual expression.
