As we ride the wave of today’s changing automotive landscape, the need to fully understand where tomorrow’s opportunities will emerge becomes crucial. Devising strategies to support a healthy portfolio and footprint are as critical as leveraging regional regulations and spreading risks across supplier and OEM partnerships. Now, CSM’s 2nd Annual Executive Series provides the foresight to help put you and your team on the knowledge side of these challenges and issues.
Tomorrow’s Automotive Industry: The Next Wave promises to provide candid discussion and insightful analysis as only CSM can, including fresh dialogue and leading thinking on identifying future opportunities, life after BRICs, scalable innovation, global import/export and manufacturing trends.
The morning’s activities will consist of presentations from CSM executives followed by question and answer sessions. Food and beverages will be provided throughout the session.
