Telematics Update: Dates Announced for Telematics West Coast 2014 Conference & Exhibition
(PRWEB) May 14, 2014 -- Telematics West Coast will be replacing Content & Apps for Automotive as Telematics Update’s event dedicated to innovation in telematics on the West Coast USA. The conference has been reinvented in-line with the evolution of the telematics industry, as the connected car becomes increasingly driven by data and becomes a pivotal part of the constantly connected society. As ever, the forum will bring together over 200 leading decision-makers from across the automotive and tech industries to address the opportunities and challenges facing the development and delivery of in-car content and services.
Telematics Update project director, Gareth Ragg stated, “We are excited about the new direction that this event has taken. After 4 hugely successful ‘Content & Apps for Automotive’ conferences the industry landscape has changed.” He continued, “At Telematics West Coast we anticipate a cutting edge and disruptive discussion on the future of data-enabled services in the connected vehicle, debated in a way only the West Coast can. Big Data is causing big debates in telematics, and its potential for changing the way content and services are delivered is set to be profound. This is the event which is to set the agenda for this change.”

• DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF CONTEXT AWARE APPS: Elevate the personalization of the in-car experience beyond simple user preferences by harnessing variable such as, weather, time of day and trending data to deliver context rich content and applications to the vehicle
