IAA Transportation 2024 event organisers have expanded its conference program, which now consists or more than 300 speakers.
Considered the world’s leading platform for the commercial vehicle and transportation sector, the event is taking place from September 17 to 20 in Hanover, Germany. The conference segment of the event has added an additional stage for a total of four, and will see representatives from industry and government discuss key issues.
“It is important to us to provide our exhibitors and all speakers with the opportunity to bring their own topics, visions and discussions to the stages of IAA Transportation,” said Managing Director of the VDA, Jürgen Mindel. “We aim to create more space for open exchange on the innovations and challenges brought by the transformation within the industry.”
In addition to a newly created Speakers’ Corner in Hall 13, there will be a main stage for the IAA Conference in Hall 18 and an Industry Stage in Hall 19/20, each featuring high-quality programs and a wide range of topics. Central themes such as charging infrastructure, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence and hydrogen technology, as well as new technologies from manufacturers, suppliers, trailer and bodybuilders, will take centre stage. Political and economic discussions on competitiveness, transformation support and global development will also be part of the program.
“To meet the very diverse requirements of the transport sector, we need open approaches and a variety of technologies,” said CEO of automotive parts manufacturer, MAHLE Group, Arnd Franz. “With its broad spectrum of important topics, the IAA Conference offers an excellent opportunity for intensive exchange with all stakeholders in the field of transportation. Ultimately, dialogue makes it possible to bring challenges to the table and develop sustainable solutions.”
The conference will also offer startups the opportunity to present themselves and connect with companies in various formats. Before each Industry Stage discussion, there will be a 3-minute portrait of a startup.
The IAA program will be updated daily for visitors and interested parties on the IAA Transportation website and can be accessed through the event app.
