Speed Meet and Greet with OEMs

Monday, September 26
5:30 p.m.

The Speed Meet and Greet with OEMs has been a staple of our Monday reception since 2018. This special event is unique to the Brake Colloquium, providing the opportunity for individuals to engage in a quick conversation with the purposefully selected OEMS who represent some of the biggest players in mobility. Guests will have the chance to introduce themselves, ask a few questions and speak on products or services they could provide. Past featured OEMS represented both traditional and new market entries. 

Speed Meet and Greet begins at 5:30 p.m. and lasts approximately 25 minutes, with rotations approximately every 5 minutes.  Don’t miss out—we’ve confirmed representatives from Ford, General Motors, Hyundai, Toyota and Stellantis to participate!
