About SAE WORLD CONGRESS

In today’s automotive climate, the automotive community is increasingly called upon to think strategically and form unique relationships that expand the reach of the industry into a new era of collaboration. Product development and innovation have evolved significantly over decades of success and challenge, as the information technology age continues to shape the products we provide. These rapid changes have forced development speeds to unprecedented levels, and our customer’s demands continue to rise as they remain connected to readily available information and grow increasingly knowledgeable.

The SAE 2014 World Congress assembles the best talent in the automotive industry; experts, management teams, engineers, and executives alike gather to collaborate and address these current challenges, celebrate evolution and achievement over the last 100+ years, and promote the multitude of opportunities fundamental for a successful future.

While the industry continues to evolve, one thing remains constant – around every corner new possibilities exist; relationships evolve into partnerships…what once seemed innovative becomes the standard…the impossible becomes possible. By Creating New Possibilities at the 2014 World Congress, together we will shape the future of the automotive industry.
