Ward’s Auto Interiors Conference

March 1, 2011 By Nadeem Muaddi

If you only attend one industry event this year, make sure it’s the Ward’s Auto Interiors Conference. It’s the only event in North America solely dedicated to automotive interiors — which means everyone who’s anyone in the field of auto upholstery will be there ready to network, share ideas and show off their designs.

When: May 17, 2011

Where: The Henry Hotel, Dearborn, MI

Details: The Ward’s Auto Interiors Conference will cover a range of interesting subjects ranging from eco-friedly interior technologies to redefining luxury, and even designing interiors for all five senses. Sessions will be led by top talent from vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and other industry professionals. What’s more, the conference will unveil the winners of its annual “Ward’s 10 Best Interiors” competition – which always draws a crowd. The conference’s keynote speech will be given by Ralph Gilles, the President and CEO of Dodge and Vice President of Product Design for Chrysler Group LLC.

Interested auto upholstery professionals should register for the conference ASAP — as it quickly sells out. For more details, including a full schedule of events, check out www.wardsauto.com/interiors.
