Our experts will discuss the latest industry trends seen in automotive interiors and exteriors. More specifically, we will review new light sources that open new horizons in lighting style and performance and explain how interior ambient lighting is becoming a brand differentiation factor.
The experts will also cover developments in interior trims and surfaces and what the future of seating holds.
