Press & Industry Highlights of the 2026 New York International Auto Show

The 2026 New York International Auto Show is at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.

I covered the New York International Auto Show on press and industry days. The show opened with the World Car Awards Breakfast.

Congratulations to BMW on winning the 2026 World Car of the Year with its all-new iX3!

Congratulations to the other finalists and winners as well!

You can see what it is like to be at the Auto Show on Press Days in this show floor preview.

I rode along in the Ford Mustang Mache E, Ford 150 Lightning, Kia EV 9 on one of the multiple test tracks at the show. It was a great experience!

The show consists mainly of EVs and hybrid vehicles. There are two levels of EV test tracks where you can do a ride-along. You can also ride along on the Jeep off-road mountain track. I rode along on all of the EV Tracks.

There were also some new vehicle rollouts and major press announcements from Kia, Hyundai, Subaru, Chrysler, VW, FastPort a B2B Honda company and many others.

You can see some of them below.

Agentforce in Action at Salesforce Agentforce Tour in New York

I covered Salesforce AgentForce in New York this past week. This event was organized to showcase Salesforce’s new product Agentforce which is DIY AI in action. Agentforce is a customer service agent that can be built by Salesforce customers and integrated into all industries across the customer journey. 

Salesforce Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer, Slack Parker Harris kicks off the Keynote in New York!

Users of Salesforce Foundation Enterprise Edition and higher can upgrade to Agentforce for free!

Customers could build a customer service agent on-site. 

Salesforce hosted a hackathon where the winner of the Agentforce contest won $20000!

The keynote showed how service and customer success functions have evolved from chatbots to copilots to Agentforce a self-designable customer service agent that can be customized to users’ specific needs across the customer journey, increasing productivity, reducing customer friction, and maximizing the customer experience.

Patrick Stokes EVP of Product & Industries Marketing at Salesforce, shows how he exchanged his sweater for the right size using Sofie and a customer service agent Saks Fifth Avenue built using Agentforce.

I saw multiple demos of Agentforce across Sales, Marketing, Service and, more.

Salesforce announced the launch of the Testing Center for Agentforce; coming this December, which will allow users to develop Agentforce to answer every possible question in all forms and variations; something the current chatbots and copilots can’t do. Agentforce enables users to take proactive prescriptive action in real-time. 

AgentforceTour was a great event. I learned much about DIY AI and how it can transform the customer experience. 

I want to thank Salesforce for having me at Agentforce Tour. 

If you want to be on the cutting edge of DIY AI, attend Agentforce in your city. 

Have you used Agentforce?
