Post Event Report
Future Connected Cars, in its first year, immediately
became the largest connected car event in Silicon Valley,
seeing 397 delegates attend, out of an overall total of
10,122 with the two co-located events – Internet of
Things World and Apps World. The main focus on the
next wave of car technology and how to develop an R&D
strategy to maintain a competitive edge, proved
incredibly popular with automakers and technology
giants. With attendees from companies like Google and
Tesla through to Ford, GM and Pioneer meant both tech
companies, automakers and tier 1s were well represented.
In fact we had 155 automakers attending, meaning we
had a 40% automaker attendance.
3 days of content on autonomous vehicles, V2X, HMI and
more firmly cemented Silicon Valley’s role as a hub of
innovation for automotive. With niche automakers
springing up all over the bay area, we see a lot of the
future of automotive being decided here. In fact we
believe that so much that we’ve expanded our research
team in our office in San Francisco.
We hope to welcome you back to Future Connected Cars
2017 on May 16-18 2017 at the Santa Clara Convention
Center. If you’re serious about the future of automotive
technology and want to keep your competitive edge, this
is an event you simply cannot miss.
Please note:
Unlike other conference organisers we don’t like to lie
about our attendance figures so if you’d like proof of
these in the form of a delegate list, feel free to contact us.
