WARRENDALE, Pa. (PRWEB) July 06, 2017 -- On the heels of the full-spectrum, full-sensory exploration of cutting edge innovations in automotive mobility at WCX17: The SAE World Congress Experience, planning for 2018’s WCX has begun.
Leading the development of WCX 2018 is the newly formed WCX Leadership Team (WCXLT), which includes representatives from the mobility industry comprised of OEMs and Partners (Tier 1, 2, or 3 suppliers and consultants). Chaired by Ken Kelzer, VP, Global Vehicle Components and Subsystems at General Motors, the leadership team ensures consistent representation from these key industry players in defining the relevant subjects, focus activities, technical experts and areas of emphasis to ensure WCX continues to provide a neutral forum for the free exchange of ideas concerning the mobility industry.
“The WCX Leadership Team will serve in an executive advisory capacity to deliver a world congress experience that continues to lead the marketplace in connecting the mobility engineering community through education, networking and business development for the benefit of society,” said Kelzer. “Building on the momentum and innovation that came out of 2017, WCX is poised to be a can’t-miss experience for the mobility industry.”
