Delegates gear up for LCV and CAM events
More than 4,000 delegates are expected to attend Cenex-LCV2019 at Millbrook Proving Ground from 4-5 September. The event is being held together with the inaugural connected and autonomous vehicle event, Cenex-Connected Automated Mobility (CAM).
The two events will combine over 150 presenters in the largest ever seminar programme, a technology exhibition and networking opportunities.
The newly launched Cenex-Connected Automated Mobility event will host companies, universities, R&D consortia and test facilities wishing to share their latest technology developments, as well as progress with research projects. Key features include a dedicated exhibition and seminar area; nine seminar sessions over two days; two workshops for the ‘UK Connected and Automated Mobility Roadmap to 2030’ being launched by Zenzic, and a dedicated networking area.
Keynote presentations for Cenex-LCV2019 will be delivered by Mike Hawes, CEO, Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT); Ian Campbell, interim executive chair, InnovateUK and Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands.
Keynote speakers for Cenex-CAM include Iain Forbes, head of the Centre of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV), Andy Graham, chair of the ITS-UK Connected Vehicles Forum, Jonathan Eaton, director of Business Solutions, Millbrook Proving Ground and David Wong, senior technology and innovation manager, SMMT. Rt Hon George Freeman, Minister of State for Transport has been invited to officially open both events.
Meanwhile, the event is also collaborating with the International Road Safety Conference 2019, which will bring together ministers, road safety experts and private sector representatives from across the globe. The two-day event will focus on collaborative learning, with topics to be discussed including Vision Zero, the safe systems approach, and technology and innovation. Following day one of the event in London, day two will continue at Cenex-CAM.
Cenex has also partnered with Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) to run a whole-day seminar stream on Battery Safety and Legislation. Taking place on 4 September, the seminar stream will be held in the Seminar Dome and consist of four sessions between 9:30 and 17:15. Sessions will explore safety engineering considerations that are prerequisites for the large-scale roll-out of Lithium Ion Batteries, Battery Transportation and Safe Packaging, Safety in Electric Vehicles and Battery Recycling, and more.
Robert Evans, CEO of Cenex said, ‘With just two weeks’ to go until Cenex-LCV2019 and Cenex-CAM, plans are underway to ensure our exhibitors and UK and International delegates have a positive experience at both events, meeting the right people, learning from the best in the industry and increasing their knowledge of this ever evolving sector. It’s an exciting time for the UK automotive industry and we look forward to welcoming record numbers of visitors to Millbrook.’
