Telematics Update has today announced that Content and Apps for Automotive Europe (Hotel Kempinski, Munich, 8th-9th April) is set to see a record number of 200+ senior industry execs converge to discuss how to move beyond IVI to harness data and analytics to deliver real customer and vehicle insights.
In recent weeks, the agenda and speaker line-up has been updated to reflect the changing nature of the automotive apps ecosystem. New sessions discussing big data and apps, analytics and services within the connected car and the new industry buzzword – ‘The Internet of Cars’ attracted over 30 bookings last week, meaning that there are only 15 Conference passes still available. Prospective delegates have been advised to move quickly to secure their place here – https://secure.telematicsupdate.com/contenteu/register.php
When asked about their previous attendance at the event, Nokia stated that the Conference offered “Excellent networking and solid technical and business updates” while General Motors backed this up by declaring that “There are no sales pitch, just non-stop intellectual debate on all the important issues related to apps and content in auto industry!”
Looking at the line-up and the number of Conference passes that were taken up last week, Project Director, Jack Palmer was not surprised, “We have seen high demand from the community to bring together speakers to discuss how the announcements at shows like CES and MWC affect the connected car on a practical level. Our aim at Content and Apps is to move beyond the hype and hashtags and figure out how the successes of the CE world are going to shape the automotive infotainment space.”
