There have been more than 10 months of Covid restrictions since our last in-person Workshop in Munich. That puts a real crimp in things; in a dynamic field such as this what we work in, networking is essential to bring on innovation and collaboration. We’ve all had to reinvent ourselves. At DVN, we’re busily working around the barriers to provide you with new ways of networking.
Following on the grand success of our online DVN-I Smart Interior Workshop two months ago, and the DVN Lidar Conference two weeks ago, now comes the 21st DVN Workshop, tomorrow 2 December at 8am CET (tomorrow 2am EST; 11pm tonight PST).
We view it as a core task to facilitate good, real networking—Covid or no Covid. So in organising these online events we make provisions for chats among attendees, and we optimise the virtual exhibitions. At the Smart Interior Workshop and Lidar Conference, we saw tremendous interest in the virtual expo booths with their cornucopia of pictures, videos, and other enticing show-and-tell. To stay visible and avoid getting disconnected and losing momentum, exhibitors had a terrific opportunity for ongoing online networking and to communicate on their innovations, research findings, product launches, and a wide array of other important messages to the 300 attendees.
We’re grateful to have received thoughtful feedback from attendees of these events, and we’re using that feedback to make the DVN Workshop even better. It will be an all-round look at the state of the art in vehicle lighting considering digital light, new lighting functions and regulations. This workshop will gather the automotive lighting realm’s top thinkers, makers, and deciders from automakers, their suppliers, the regulators, and research facilities.
The workshop will start off with a keynote by Kenji Arima, Koito’s VP of R&D; he’ll speak about creation of new value.
Session 1 will comprise lectures from Daimler, BMW, Volvo, Volkswagen, and Renault
Session 2, chaired by Michael Hamm, will be animated by speakers from Marelli AL, Ichikoh, ZKW, and Stanley.
Session 3, chaired by Geoff Draper, will centre on regulations.
Session 4 will be dedicated to Vehicle Interior lighting.
Session 5 will focus on ADB and light sources.
Session 6 is a mix of electronics, advanced material, aiming and measurement.
Alongside the presentations, the event will also allow participants to learn about the latest innovations, findings, concepts, and products of thirteen exhibitors—presented, pictured, and described along with company contact information. The virtual expo and the video recordings of the event’s sessions will be accessible for a full week after the event.
