ETTN NERD Symposium
August 16 – 19
SEMA Garage in Detroit
The SEMA Emerging Trends and Technology Network (ETTN) is hosting a unique event that connects automotive aftermarket engineers with aftermarket product and service providers.
At the four-day Networking, Education, Resources, Development (NERD) Symposium, participating engineers will connect with service providers in one-on-one meetings; join in-depth education sessions focused on ADAS, emissions, diagnostics and simulation; and network with other engineers with similar concerns, challenges and needs. Participants will also attend the SEMA Garage in Detroit Grand Opening celebration, where they will be amongst the first to receive a private tour of the new facility and learn about the new resources available.
With such a targeted focus on education and networking for aftermarket engineers involved with ADAS, the symposium is unlike any other event. Nowhere else are engineers able to connect in quality meetings with so many product and service providers that cater specifically to them and the industry.
