Industrial Vehicle Cab Design & Technology Symposium 2019

Germany, Cologne - February 13 -14, 2019
Improve Comfort and Productivity. Increase Safety and Connectivity. Reduce Costs and Development Cycles

From the publisher of Industrial Vehicle Technology International magazine comes a brand-new symposium for 2019 entirely dedicated to next-generation cabin design and future technologies for industrial, commercial and off-highway vehicles.

Over 30 international speakers will discuss highly innovative design concepts for increased operator comfort, improved functionality and productivity, vehicle safety, and reduced costs and development cycles through modular design and manufacturing approaches. The symposium will also focus on the latest and next-generation adaptive user interface controls, HMI and UX challenges, highly connected vehicle technology and cloud-based operator equipment.

Held alongside IVT Expo, the symposium will bring together senior-level engineers and R&D directors from OEMs and Tier 1 & 2 suppliers, industrial vehicle cab designers and manufacturers, industrial vehicle designers, HMI engineers, UX designers, ergonomics experts and research organizations. This is the perfect opportunity to find out about the latest and future industry trends and meet senior industry peers through our high-level networking events taking place across the two days. The symposium will be held alongside a number of other highly targeted conferences such as the Autonomous Industrial Vehicle Technology Symposium, the Electric & Hybrid Industrial Vehicle Technology Symposium and the Industrial Vehicle Powertrain Technology Symposium. All of these events take place at the same time in Köln Messe and your conference pass will automatically give you access to all of them, offering unprecedented access to over 120 presentations.
