SAE International’s 2018 Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technologies Symposium has some exciting special events planned at the Doubletree Hotel San Diego-Mission Valley in California on February 20-22. In addition to the great keynote and technical program, there are plenty of networking opportunities for attendees.

SAE International recognizes the importance of person-to-person networking and has built in several networking breaks into each day’s programming. These include lunches scheduled each day allowing attendees to chat and exchange information, as well as ask questions or begin discussions based on the earlier sessions that day.

On Tuesday, Feb. 20, - the opening night of the event – Toyota will sponsor an off-site reception at 6:30 p.m. at one of San Diego’s hottest restaurants – Rustic Root. Transportation will not be provided, however there is a train outside the hotel that is affordable and drops you off right at the location.

For its 15^th consecutive year, the SAE Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technologies Symposium event provides vehicle design engineers and management with a forum to share and discuss the latest technology, applications, and overall development challenges for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles through lively discussions and ample networking opportunities.
