Automotive Testing Expo 2026

The Vibe Credit Union Showplace (formerly the Suburban Collection Showplace) is a large exhibition and conference complex in Novi, Michigan. The facility features two large divisible ballrooms, three exposition halls, multiple meeting and conference rooms, and an attached Hyatt Place Hotel; a newer Events Center added over 185,000 square feet — including nearly 90,000 square feet of exposition space, much of it column-free with 40-foot clear ceilings — connected with the existing 215,000 square feet of exposition space, plus 14 additional meeting and banquet rooms and a second-story ballroom. The halls are on the ground floor and the venue is accessible for wheelchair users. The conference exhibit hall, keynotes, and educational sessions are all held within this single venue for a seamless attendee experience.

On-site parking is available in the venue's lot at 46100 Grand River Avenue. The Suburban Collection Showplace parking lot is open 24 hours a day, and some events offer free parking for attendees. Note that parking rates vary by event and are often charged per vehicle, per day. Recent event guides cite visitor parking at around $10.00 per car, per day, with a pass allowing in-and-out privileges throughout the day. Exhibitors may purchase a parking pass (recently cited around $25 per vehicle per day) for unlimited access to the venue's lot. Advance parking can typically be reserved through the venue.
