What Our Speakers Had to Say About Returning to In-Person…

From a general perspective, I am excited about the possibility of in person interaction with peers from the automotive and related industries, as connections are best formed in a physical interaction. While digital has been a great vehicle for efficiency gains and enabling cross country, continent, etc. collaboration, physical interactions are still key.
From a specific content perspective, I am very interested in the outside of automotive OEM thinking around data and its usage. Balancing customer experiences around data privacy and security with value adding insights and products/services is key.
Martin Richenhagen, Strategy & Digital Transformation, Porsche

I am incredibly excited to gather face-to-face to exchange ideas in a more relaxed fashion that allows for back-and-forth conversations. There is immense value in randomly engaging with someone over a cup of coffee that cannot be replicated virtually.
Maria Neve, Vice President – Electrification & Sustainability, Donlen

Remote work is filled with an endless array of back to back virtual meetings. While efficient in their own regards, it misses the value of spontaneous interaction that comes from face-to-face discussions. I am looking forward to those random moments of inspiration that accompany more direct interaction and communication.
David C Dowty, Head of North America – Free2Move, Stellantis
