BRAND NEW

What’s New For GALM 2014

For the first time in the Global Automotive Lightweight Vehicle Series, we are pleased to announce that this year we will be holding a brand new vehicle exhibition showcase including bodies-in-white of the Mercedes S-Class, P1 McLaren and JLR Range Rover Evoque.

OEMs that have pioneered some of the most advanced lighweighting projects from across the world will be bringing full size vehicles that will be displayed within the conference area for you to view, touch and inspect throughout the two day event.

www.global-automotive-lightweight-materials-2014.com +44 (0) 800 098 8489 [email protected]

Lightweight Vehicle Exhibition 1. Onsite Exhibition Of Body-In-White And Complete Vehicles

Our brand new Vehicle Showcase Area will host lightweight body in whites from OEMs including Mercedes, Jaguar Land Rover and McLaren to give participants a first hand view of recently released lightweight vehicles and allow speakers to elaborate on their presentations in the extended networking breaks

2. Overcoming Global Challenges Of Lightweighting

As OEMs expand beyond their domestic markets and begin implementing global platform strategies, this year the series is taking an increased focus on the global availability of raw materials, manufacturing capabilities and tier 1 support to enable the production of vehicles on a global scale

3. Mercedes-Benz Debut Keynote On Award Winning S-Class

Mercedes-Benz will be making their GALM debut with a bang by delivering the Opening Keynote on their award winning S-Class. And that’s not all… Matthias Hoefer will be bringing the Body-In-White to the showcase area allow you to get up-close and personal with the aluminium and steel hybrid structure

4. Business Case For Material Mix Keynote

Jaguar Land Rover, General Motors and Nissan will provide perspectives on justifying the business cases for material decisions based on cost of material, cost of scale up, performance benefit, and total CO2 model lifecycle

5. Metals Recycling

Simon Black will be revealing Jaguar Land Rovers cost-efficient and low-energy approaches for collecting, segregating, and reusing recycled scrap material after the life of the vehicle

6. Global Tier 1 Capability

In response to audience demand, this year in addition to an expanded Material Suppliers Panel, tier 1 suppliers will be featured on stage revealing strategic visions for supporting increased automotive demand and responding to the changing material needs of vehicle OEMs in 2014 and beyond

What Makes GALM The Industry Leading Event?

1. OVER 1000 ATTENDEES: Since launch, the GALM series has doubled in size hosting

over 1000 automotive professional attendees so far, from over 50 of the world’s

leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in automotive lightweighting.

2. OEM LED: With an OEM-led agenda and more OEM speakers than any other

lightweighting forum, the GALM series is globally renowned for being the key

lightweighting conference for automotive manufacturers.

3. PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS: Every session on the agenda for this conference has been

designed not simply to assess the challenges and problems, but primarily to deliver

practical, applicable takeaway solutions based on successful and not so successful

case studies from pioneering OEMs who are at the front line of automotive lightweighting

a. To help form strategies for selecting optimal multi-material combinations

including aluminium, magnesium and composites

b. To help identify cost effective routes to achieving scalable solutions for

mass-market production for you to implement upon your return to the office.

4. MATERIAL SUPPLIERS PANEL: With the reliability and availability of material supply

being a critical driver in lighweighting roll-out, we will be hosting a dedicated material

suppliers section including a panel addressing global availability and revealing supplier

plans for supporting the increased demand of automotive lightweight materials.

5. EXTENDED PANEL DISCUSSIONS: With idea generation, technical debate and

strategic discussion being key to scaling up the manufacture of lightweight vehicles,

there will be extended discussions and Q&A sessions throughout, in addition to the 20

case study presentations.

6. NETWORKING: Enjoy 8 hours of exclusive networking opportunities between the

presentations and discussions, including a networking drinks reception at the end of

day one; the perfect setting to discuss ideas and progress with colleagues, peers, new

acquaintances and potentially, new partners.

From Our Previous GALM EventsThe past two years have seen rapid developments in automotive lightweighting efforts with the eagerly anticipated release of the BMW I Series, Mercedes S-Class, Lamborghini Aventator, McLaren P1, Ford F150 and the 420kg weight reduction of the Range Rover to name a few. With Aluminium and Carbon Fibre emerging as what seem to be the front runners in achieving lightweight results in luxury brands, it is still unclear which material combination will dominate the mass market.

Despite the above ground-breaking achievements in key areas, OEMs are still searching to develop technical strategies solutions for cost-effectively integrating lightweight materials into multi-material vehicles and securing lightweight materials and components on a global platform.

As OEMs begin to reveal their material strategies and expand beyond their domestic markets, the need to secure global material and Tier 1 supplier capability has never been more important.

This year, the internationally renowned Global Automotive Lightweight Materials (GALM) Initiative returns to London with the mission of

1) Supporting the delivery of aggressive lightweighting by securing the global supply base for aluminium, magnesium, high strength steel and composites

2) Integrating joining and forming technologies for multi-material manufacturing to enable commercially feasible, high volume, lightweight vehicle manufacturing on a global platform.

The Summit will be held at the Lancaster Hotel

Sponsorship Opportunities

DEMONSTRATE THOUGHT LEADERSHIPAdvanced Lightweight Materials for the automotive sector is a growing area of technological development. You may be pioneering these advances, but do your customers know what differentiates you from your competitors? Use targeted, editorially reviewed keynotes and case studies to demonstrate thought leadership to your target audience.

RAISE BRAND AWARENESS AND INCREASE YOUR PROFILEAny solutions selected by Vehicle OEMs must be subjected to careful comparative cost-benefit analysis. Of course automakers take into account, profile, credibility and market leadership when selecting suppliers to support, their lightweighting strategies. Your organisation must be at the forefront when these decisions are made. Cement your leadership position with targeted branding and profiling campaigns directed at the leading Vehicle OEMs.

MEET AND NETWORK WITH DECISION MAKERSThought leadership, branding and profiling are converted into contracts through extensive face-to-face relationship building. As a dedicated event to Lightweight Materials, this intimate forum enables you to meet specific job titles in one place at one time, giving you the best possible chance of influencing key decision makers.
