Global Automotive Outlook Conference – Birmingham, MI

The global economic and automotive industry has demonstrated resilience and innovation in the face of pandemic-induced challenges. However, the market continues to be hampered by 3-years of stacked supply and demand disruptors. While the health of the industry has held up fairly well, despite lower sales and production volume, near-term risks are elevated, and a number of variables remain that may negatively impact the recovery pace and level.

The event will take place on October 3, 2022 opening with a breakfast at 08:30 AM, and closing with a network reception at 4:00 PM.
