We’re always listening to DVN community members’ ideas, and on that basis we’re putting together a lidar conference to be held this Autumn: it’ll be on 20 November in Frankfurt, with a cocktail social and a welcome dinner on the evening of the 19th. Our intent with this conference is to facilitate reciprocal access, communication, and business opportunities for stakeholders in lidar and vehicle lighting, and to start building a new ecosystem for lidar and lighting integration.
This first-of-its-kind event will gather top worldwide experts in lidar and lighting. 16 lectures are expected from automakers including Audi, BMW, Ford, PSA, and Renault; lidar suppliers like Continental, Innoviz, Infineon, Jenoptik, LeddarTech, Valeo, and Velodyne, scientific presenter Fraunhofer IMS, lighting tier-1s including AL, Hella, Koito, Valeo, and ZKW; and a variety of tier-2 suppliers involved in Lidar simulation tools and Market research like Optis and Yole Development.
Lecture sessions will include lidar technology, lidar integration in front and rear lamps, simulation and testing, and market challenges and opportunities. There will be two panel discussions on the synergies between lidar and lighting. And there’ll be 12 expo booths presenting the newest innovative lidar-based automotive technologies and their integration process into cars.
Entree fee for this conference will be Euros 950 for everybody, including DVN members, as this is not one of the two annual DVN workshops. For more information about attendance and exhibition booths, please contact : [email protected]
I am convinced that it will be a great opportunity to boost the lighting and lidar communities and to create new cooperations to further accelerate the evolution of comprehensive driver and vehicle vision systems. See you there!
Sincerely yours
DVN President
