Leadership Summit Roundtables
The Leadership Summit is a series of roundtable discussions
developed by the Technical Advisory Group of WCX™ World
Congress on the " business of technology " such as technology development,
consumer acceptance, regulation and their impact on
vehicle design and development by technical executives in the
mobility ecosystem. Thought-provoking roundtables on the business
of technology will be part of the Leadership Summit, featuring
topics including Keynote: In Pursuit of Zero, Diversity Leading
Innovation in Mobility; Software Defined Vehicles and their Impact
on the Future of Mobility; Battery: Today, 2030, and Beyond.
Learning Lab
Featuring new technology from exhibitors, this engaging
space will provide an peak into the future of mobility at this
engaging space. The Learning Lab provides attendees access to
information on new technology and services from the OEM
and supply chain communities. It accommodates interactive
and one-on-one presentations where engineers and suppliers
can discuss the latest mobility products. These presentations
are designed to also address concepts or innovations that could
impact attendees' development strategies.
EDGE Knowledge Bar
Another unique experience at WCX 2023 is the EDGE™
Research Reports' Knowledge Bar, where attendees can get
help problem-solving issues on unsettled and established
technologies in a casual " small group " environment. Attendees
are encouraged to come prepared with questions to
an assembled group of subject matter experts. Each expert
will lead 40-minute " expert discussions " on the critical technologies
moving the advancement of design, deployment,
and development of future vehicles forward. Some of the
topics to be discussed include vehicular AI and ML, EV
charging and infrastructure, automated road sensors, and
smart manufacturing.
Networking Events
WCX is where the community gathers to make connections
and build relationships - its where business happens. Whether
you're a C-level executive, engineer, or R&D professional,
WCX offers opportunities to reconnect with your peers and
make new connections with mobility professionals from around
the world to help you build a powerful network. Between daily
networking breaks on the exhibit floor, to special events such as
the WCX Gala and the 2023 Ford Super Duty Vehicle Event,
there are several networking opportunities each day to help
you make the most out of your WCX experience.
Exhibition Floor
Like every year, the event will feature an Exhibition Floor
where attendees can network with industry leaders and experience
previews of the newest products on the market demonstrated
by OEMs, suppliers, and technology companies.
From talks on mass deployment of autonomous and electric
vehicles, to software defined vehicles and smart manufacturing,
to the latest in research and development, WCX 2023 will convene
engineering leaders to explore mobility opportunities
and address its biggest challenges.
