2PREFACE

In the year 2019 the 7th International Conference Automotive Wire Harness – organized by Süddeutscher Verlag Veranstaltungen – will present the latest trends and challenges in the industry. Thanks to the active support of the Advisory Committee, we have once again organized an attractive and well-conceived program featuring many keynote presentations from leading automotive manufacturers.

Besides top-class speakers and competently created lectures, the participants appreciate the excellent possibilities for an annual, intensive exchange of ideas with the most important wire harness system specialists in a relaxed atmosphere.

The Automotive Wire Harness Conference evolves more and more to the international automotive industry platform No. 1. That’s why we offer professional English simultaneous translation to all participants on both days.

During the coffee breaks you will have the opportunity to visit the booths of the exhibitors in front of the conference hall and talk to a great number of experts.

THE BIG WIRE HARNESS SYSTEMS INDUSTRY MEETING 2019

Collect first hand information, gain new impulses and make top-class contacts!

To bring the first day of the Conference to a crowning finale, we will invite you to the celebratory evening event at the nearby Reithaus Ludwigsburg.

Use this opportunity to make new contacts and strengthen existing business relationships.

We look forward to welcoming you at the event and hope you gain lots of new inspirations and enjoy some fruitful discussions!
