Description

Registration for this meeting has not opened yet. If you are interested in presenting your testing/validation technology, insights, or analysis to 100+ automotive executives representing OEMs, vendors, VCs, etc, please apply here

Autotech Council members representing carmakers and their T1 vendor partners meet monthly in Silicon Valley to review new technologies and a handful of mobility, transportation, and automotive companies and solutions coming out of the technology industry's entrepreneurial community across the globe. 

ABOUT THE TOPIC 

Automotive development is being written in code, not sculpted in clay. The traditional model of building and breaking physical prototypes is over. That’s not to say “software eats everything” - in this industry, the hardware still matters. But it, too, is first built in code, long before it’s cast in steel. And what is built in code can be tested in code, faster, cheaper, and through more iterations than before. The competitive edge now belongs to those who have mastered virtual validation, using powerful digital tools to accelerate development, slash costs, and engineer next-generation vehicles with unprecedented speed and safety.This meeting is your opportunity to understand the “testing” part of this critical transformation, meet the innovators driving it, and ensure your organization is not left behind.
