Large crowds, a successful MACsec Plugfest, several workshops and numerous expert presentations - The Automotive Ethernet Congress (now in its ninth year) has confirmed its reputation as the industry's leading meeting place. Significantly more than 1000 attendees, speakers and exhibitors from 26 countries gathered in Munich on March 22 and 23, 2023, to learn and exchange information about the latest state of Automotive Ethernet. For the first time, the congress was extended by a special TSN training ("What you need about TSN") on March 21.

After keynotes by Technica Engineering and John Deere, the first day of the event focused on architecture, Ethernet/SerDes/PCIe, and test & tools. On the second day, the focus was on security, where the results of the MACsec plugfest were presented. After that, the focus was on middleware/software and TSN.

The next Automotive Congress is planned for mid-March 2024.
