Advance Your Automotive Ethernet Expertise

Join the Automotive Ethernet Congress 2026 Training Day on March 24, 2026, for a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of the key technologies shaping modern E/E architectures and Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).

Scheduled as part of the AEC in Munich (March 24–26, 2026), this one-day event offers an intensive, hands-on learning experience led by leading experts from Technica Engineering and Ethernovia.

Participants will take a technical deep dive into three core automotive Ethernet domains:

• Time Sensitive Networking (TSN): Advanced Layer 2 QoS for deterministic in-vehicle communication
• SOME/IP: The leading service-oriented communication protocol in automotive Ethernet
• Automotive MACsec: Building robust security foundations for Ethernet-based vehicle networks

Whether you are a seasoned Ethernet engineer or looking to strengthen your foundations, the AEC Training Day delivers a balance of theory, architecture insights, and real-world implementation knowledge — guided by those who helped define the standards themselves.
