Plenty of unstructured time will permit open exchange of our experience, desires, and ideas among American, Japanese, Korean, European, and Chinese participants on new technologies for automotive lighting.
It’s going to be a terrific workshop; we anticipate it will continue our ongoing trend of each new DVN workshop being better and ever better than the one before. In advance we thank all the worldwide attendees, speakers, session chairs, and facilitators. We are confident this workshop will contribute to the progress of new lighting technologies in the Chinese automotive market and worldwide.
The proceedings and results of the workshop will be published this June.
Sincerely yours
