SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn Webinar: Disruptions from Tariffs\, Changing Regulatory Stances\, and the Product-Development Shifts at the Automakers
DESCRIPTION:Automotive companies must pursue wholesale transformation of their operations if they hope to survive the existential level of disruptions hitting the industry today\, from tariffs and other geopolitical actions to less-than-expected electric-vehicle sales to the continued rise of many hyper-competitive Chinese auto companies\, regionalization pressures\, supply constraints\, ADAS opportunities\, and software-defined vehicle architectures. \nJoin the SAA on Nov. 5 for a free Lunch & Learn webinar featuring Mark Wakefield of AlixPartners as he examines the issues facing the automotive industry. \nFeatured Speaker: \nMark Wakefield\nAutomotive Market Lead\nAlixPartners \n  \n  \n  \nThere is no cost to attend this Lunch & Learn webinar\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:9th Annual Materials Innovation Summit
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by:\n\n\nIn partnership with:\n\n\nLightweighting that enhances efficiency is powertrain agnostic. Whether it’s an all-ICE powertrain\, a BEV\, or anything in between\, the use of lightweight materials is pivotal in achieving the greatest range\, the highest performance\, the lowest emissions\, all while balancing costs for the consumer. Recent changes to CAFE regulations and the ability to impose civil penalties are at the crossroads of material selection. \nJoin us as we bring together a panel of experts representing Aluminum\, Composites\, Magnesium\, and Steel components and solutions to share their views on how lightweight materials are differentiators and their evolution. \nSpeakers: \nJustin Mirro\nChairman\nMunro & Associates \n\n  \n  \n\nMaterial Trends in Mobility\nAbey Abraham\nManaging Principal of Automotive & Materials\nDucker Carlisle \n  \nSteel Industry\nPaul Belanger\nVP of BIW R&D North America\nGestamp \n  \nAluminum Industry\nDarren Womack\nDepartment Manager\, R&D\nMagna \n  \n  \nMagnesium Industry\nTim Zurrer\nDirector of Project Development\nMagrathea \n  \nComposite/Plastics Industry\nMatt Parkinson\, Ph.D.\nHead of Technical Development\,\nEngineering and PPA Business Development NA\nBASF \n  \nQ & A Moderated by:\nMike Martinez\nReporter\nAutomotive News \n  \nInnovations In Lightweighting Award \nFinalist Presentations and Award Announcement \n\n\n\nNetworking Continental Breakfast: 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.\nPresentations and Awards: 8:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.\n\nFREE for members\n$75 for non-members\, includes 1-year SAA membership (normally $150)
