The program for the first annual automotiveIT International Congress is now complete with confirmed presentations by senior Ford and McLaren executives. The conference, which will be held in London July 1 and 2, will provide a unique opportunity to discuss how the auto industry increasingly uses big data and new information technologies to adapt to rapidly changing personal mobility trends.
The Congress theme is „Connected Mobility 3.0: IT Moves the Auto Industry“ and close to 20 senior industry executives will provide insights on topics ranging from connected retail to autonomous driving to the newest data strategies. More than 200 delegates are expected to attend the two-day conference, which starts on July 1 with a VIP tour of Audi’s virtual dealership, Audi City. On the main conference day – July 2 – speakers include Jaguar Land Rover engineering boss Wolfgang Ziebart, Volvo Cars head of electrical and electronics Thomas Mueller and Genivi president and senior Peugeot executive Philippe Gicquel.
The program also features executive presentations by Audi, Continental, Qoros, Renault, Volkswagen and several other automotive and IT companies. One of the final additions to the speaker lineup is Peter van Manen, vice president at McLaren Applied Technologies. Van Manen is responsible for supplying the control and data systems used by all Formula 1 competitors and, in a standalone address near the end of the conference, will discuss how new IT systems are changing Formula 1. Another late addition to the program is Roopak Verma, director IT at Ford of Europe. Verma will participate in a panel discussion on big data.
Dominik Ortlepp, automotiveIT group president and publisher, said the London Congress will bring together auto-industry professionals and IT executives eager to exchange views on how consumer electronics, fast connectivity and new data-based technologies are changing the car industry. „There’s a data and connectivity revolution taking place in the car industry,“ said Ortlepp. „That’s what we’ll focus on in London.“
