Design Conference Focuses on Innovative Vehicle Designs and welcomes esteemed Industry Speakers

It focuses on the constant changes and new challenges in vehicle design, particularly with regard to the shift towards sustainable, intelligently networked mobility. The conference is organized in collaboration with Konzepthaus and Car Design News (CDN). 

"Vehicle design is constantly changing, and we are seeing a remarkable transformation towards electric mobility and autonomous driving," says Jürgen Mindel, Managing Director of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). "This directly affects the vehicle layout and interior and brings with it new challenges, including the selection of sustainable materials and the integration of augmented and virtual reality applications in the design process." 

"CDN is very pleased about the continuation of the partnership with IAA MOBILITY. We believe that design is becoming increasingly important in the face of the challenges the industry is confronted with. Putting design at the forefront of the mobility conversation is essential to shaping the future in a way that benefits us all," says James McLachlan, editor at Car Design News. 

"If you are interested in the future of vehicle design, you should not miss the IAA MOBILITY Design Conference," says Tobias Gröber, Head of Consumer Goods at Messe München.
