Last week in this editorial space, I presented three of the many good reasons to attend the upcoming VISION Congress: high-level lectures from the world’s best lighting and DA minds, test drives with 25 demo-cars, and the variety of new lighting systems to be displayed and presented. The demo-cars on the Satory circuit will allow you to discover all the innovations in progress, to judge and appreciate their lighting in a realistic on-road setting, not just in theory from a from Power Point presentation.
I would also like to give some details on the 6 presentations of innovative Lighting Systems. All the attendees will be able to follow a presentation of the experts from AL, Hella, Koito, Valeo, Varroc, and ZKW introducing one of their newest lighting systems, with slides detailing their components and videos explaining all the features and the strengths of their system.
To thank all the actors for their contribution to the Congress, the VISION Steering Committee and SIA (Societe des Ingenieurs de l’Automobile, French SAE) decided at their last meeting to offer an award for the 3 best lectures, the 2 best demo-cars and the best presentations of new technologies. The choice of the 6 winners will be made for half of them by the attendees and half of them by the Steering Committee members. The Awarding ceremony will officially take place by the end of this year.
The awarded lectures, demo-cars and new lighting system presentation will be honored in the December 2012 SIA magazine read by most of the VIP car makers.
We remind that at VISION, during the 2 days and one night, 36 lectures, 25 demo-cars, 6 Lighting Systems will be presented to the 300 expected attendees. See you there!
Sincerely yours
DVN Editor in Chief
