WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS CONGRESS?
TECHNOLOGY SELECTION & IMPLEMENTATION:
This is the first automotive conference to focus on the business case for which joining
technologies are right for integrating lightweight materials and how to apply them to
enable high volume production both regionally and globally.
LARGE SCALE FOCUS:
This brand new GALM sister event will fully encompass the manufacturing considerations
to account for when moving into large scale lightweight manufacturing to provide
delegates with intelligence on how to more effectively roll out their own lightweighting
manufacturing strategies. This isn’t just about testing and piloting – it’s about tried and
tested, commercial global scale production.
MANUFACTURING JOB TITLE SPECIFIC:
The big difference between this event and the events American Business Conferences has
hosted in the past is that it’s focused 100% on manufacturing techniques, the hottest topic
in the lighweighting field. While the Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Conference
is focused on material selection, product design, supply chain and manufacturing, the
Global Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing Congress 2014 will focus specifically on the
overall manufacturing considerations joining technologies for lightweighting
implementation.
UNPRECEDENTEDLY DETAILED AGENDA ON MANUFACTURING:
The agenda will provide highly detailed analysis of welding, riveting and bonding best
practice case studies across each lightweight material and mixed material combinations.
REPAIRS & JOINT TESTING:
The agenda will also address one of the most important topics in manufacturing - the
standardization of joint testing and repairs for manufacturing - to identify optimal joint,
crack and dent repair techniques and improve process efficiencies.
STRATEGIC & TECHNICAL FOCUS:
The content in other joining conferences is very technical in regards to joining while we
focus on technical joining but also on the strategic implementation of lightweighting
in plants. Other conferences show how to implement – we show how to implement
technologies but also explain the business case for why each technology was chosen
so delegates attain insight into the economics as well as the application of each joining
technology. This is a unique agenda design that has never before been done.
SENIOR & TECHNICAL APPEAL:
We therefore will attract senior manufacturing personnel (Directors, VPs, Head Of) at our
conference as well as more technical people, whereas some other joining conferences
focus purely on junior technical personnel.
