IESF Automotive EE Design Conferences
September 23, 2020
The IESF 2020 conference program, now in its 20th year, will include events in Detroit, Japan, Germany, and for the first time in Portland OR. following the EVS33 electric mobility conference. IESF special themes this year will include the design and engineering of electric and autonomous vehicles!
Update on COVID-19 and impact on IESF Portland
All of us at Mentor, A Siemens Business, are watching the daily reports of the threat of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and share your concerns about its impact on all our lives. The Integrated Electrical Solutions Forum (IESF) in Portland, Oregon runs alongside the Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS33). EDTA, the EVS event organizer, cancelled EVS33 earlier this week. As a result, and after considerable deliberation, we are regrettably also cancelling IESF Portland. The health and well-being of our customers, partners, employees and other key stakeholders is of the utmost importance to us.

The Age of “Automobility”: How Driverless Vehicles Will Reshape Our World
For more than a century, car companies have taken for granted that vehicles will be driven by people, powered by combustion engines and owned primarily by individuals. These presumptions now are being challenged by a stunning convergence of new technology and innovative business models.
Autonomous electric vehicles deployed in transportation services are ushering-in the age of “automobility” which promises more people greater freedom in how they move around and how they live.
This presentation will review the seeds of the mobility revolution, assess the implications of the age of “automobility”, and highlight how to position for this inevitable transformation.
