Automotive Logistics Europe 2010

2010 is a seminal year for automotive logistics in Europe.

The global crisis has forced many changes. Carmakers, parts suppliers and logistics companies are reshaping their businesses, their strategies and their logistics to adapt to a new emerging automotive landscape.

Automotive Logistics Europe conference has responded in the same way. With a new home in Germany, at a location at the heart of European car production, the 2010 conference will be the forum for renewed interaction among Europe's most senior supply chain and logistics executives.

The stunning new location has easier accessibility from across Europe, and better conference and display facilities. It is a frequent meeting place of heads of state and has a marvellous history of bringing the leading decision-makers of Europe together. We intend to carry on that tradition in our own sector.

The previous annual conferences in Montreux had a familiar, open and special ambience. That will remain. Valuable lessons from the many informative sessions and top-rank speakers which made Montreux the birthplace of many new ideas - and indeed led to many a signed contract - will also remain.

Above all, Automotive Logistics Europe conference in 2010 will be an event for learning from, then leaving behind, the nightmares of 2009.
It will be a time for reshaping and recovering.
