It takes place at Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi, Michigan.
The organizer describes the three-day technical conference as free.
The organizer identifies engineers, technologists, and decision-makers as audience groups.
It is most useful for chassis, vehicle dynamics and thermal engineers, since the speakers come from General Motors, Ford, Cummins, FEV North America and IPG Automotive, and the themes include high-voltage thermal management and validating vehicle dynamics as a platform moves from combustion to hybrid to electric. Admission to the three-day conference is free, which makes it a low-cost way for engineers to hear peers; buyers looking for a large procurement show, or people outside propulsion and chassis work, will get less from it.
Engineers at automotive technical conferences typically wear business casual, such as chinos and a polo or button-down, with comfortable shoes for walking an expo hall. A jacket is sensible for late October in Michigan.
