Tekion One 2026 is a wrap — and Day 3 closed the way the whole week felt: with real operators, real conversations, and a clear view of where this industry is going.

Jay Vijayan opened the final general sessions alongside two of the most respected leaders in automotive retail: Mario Murgado, President & CEO of Murgado Automotive Group, and Rob Cochran, 2026 NADA Chairman and CEO of #1 Cochran Automotive.

Then Binu Mathew returned to the stage with Ash Alhashim, Head of Cyber GTM at Anthropic, for a conversation on responsible AI and what it means to build and deploy AI the right way.

The Spotlights today brought the operator perspective front and center. Leaders from Ken Garff Automotive Group shared how they're turning AI into real business impact. Asbury Automotive Group's Michael Welch and John Ellithorp walked through what enterprise-scale transformation looks like across one of the largest dealer groups in the country.

And the afternoon closed with the Awards Ceremony — celebrating the dealer partners who are doing the work that makes this community worth building.

Ten years of innovation — celebrated the right way.

The Tekion Bash last night brought the community together for an evening built around the theme that's defined this decade: A Decade of Innovation. And the night delivered on every level.

From rage rooms to glow-in-the-dark phishing games, racing simulators to synchronized swimmers, a tower loop to nitrogen ice cream, ending with a light show that illuminated the towers. Every activation designed to do what Tekion One does best: bring people together in a way they won't forget.

Here's to the dealer partners, Tekionites, and everyone who made this week—and this decade—possible.

Day 2 of Tekion One is a wrap!

The morning opened with Jay Vijayan sharing his perspective on where the industry is headed—and what it will take to lead in a world defined by AI, data, and rising customer expectations.

In the Spotlights, Binu Mathew, CTO of Tekion, went deeper on what it means to run an AI-native dealership.

The afternoon closed strong with Jon McNeill— CEO of DVx Ventures and former President of Tesla— sharing a framework for simplifying complexity, moving faster, and driving measurable business outcomes.

And tonight—the Tekion Bash at AYU starts at 7 PM—thanks to our sponsors Brex and AWS.

In his CTO Spotlight Session earlier at Tekion One, Binu Mathew broke down what AI-native actually means on the dealer floor—not as a positioning statement, but as a measurable performance outcome.

He also walked through T1—Tekion's conversational AI interface built natively into Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC).

Ten years ago, Tekion set out to rebuild automotive retail from the ground up. At Tekion One today, Tekion Founder & CEO Jay Vijayan showed the room exactly what a decade of that work looks like—and where it's going next.

Jay's keynote covered the industry's shift away from legacy, disjointed technology to a truly AI-native platform—one built on real dealership data.

He also unveiled Tekion's newest AI Agents and T1 Pro—and gave every attendee a front-row look at what the intelligent dealership looks like.

Day 1 of Tekion One 2026 wrapped up last night!

The afternoon brought the community together in one room as attendees explored the Tekion Village and Partner Expo.

Then the evening kicked off with the Welcome Reception — and the theme set the tone for everything ahead: We Race as One. Racing simulators, great people, and the first real chance for dealer partners, sponsors, and the Tekion team to connect before two days of data and AI sessions about what's shaping the future of this industry.
