integrated services, master the user experience and build a brand affinity that
lasts a lifetime. Here are some of the highlights:

connected car and the evolving automotive apps ecosystem that is set to
revolutionize consumer interaction with the car
- Network
with 1800+ senior-level execs from OEMs, dealerships, insurers,
government, Tier 1s, content providers and wireless carriers to secure
crucial relationships and elevate your business’ global profile in this
rapidly evolving market place
