THE PANELS

THE PANELS

We’re dedicating a whole day to exploring the future of the automotive design industry and community. Throughout the day, you will be able to choose from twelve expert-led panels that will offer insights into how your day as a designer, modeller, visualisation artist, or in any other capacity within an automotive design studio, might evolve in the years ahead. The Mobility Design Conference brings together renowned leaders and visionaries, mixes them with the core responsible for the day-to-day life of a studio, to discuss the latest innovations, trends and the future of mobility and beyond.

The full line-up of speakers and moderators will be announced in due course. Representing more than 20 OEMs from all over the world, they will provide the most comprehensive overview of the automotive design community and industry to date.

Streams

User Experience & Brand

This stage will focus on the core topic of User Experience & Brand design. Although this topic has been widely discussed, it has yet to be fully implemented in modern design organisations.

Process, Tools & Creativity

No other area will evolve more than the operational and structural arrangements of a design studio in the coming years. In this stream, we will explore the four biggest areas of change, discuss how they will evolve, and consider how we need to adapt and what impact this will have on the studio in the coming years.
