Plans are in full swing for AIAG’s all-new virtual event, the 2020 Cybersecurity Symposium. Scheduled for September 15, 2020, this one-day event is free to all participants.

A highlight of AIAG’s 2020 Virtual Customs Town Hall will be Kenneth J.F. Kennedy’s presentation on forced labor. As head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Forced Labor Programs, Kennedy will discuss the impact of the U.S. government’s recent forced-labor enforcement actions on automotive companies. Kennedy will outline the trends and explain what OEMs and suppliers should be doing.

The automotive supply chain is affected by new and emerging technologies, and one of these is blockchain. “I’m excited about blockchain and what it can do for the automotive industry,” says Sergei Beliaev, executive vice president and chief strategy officer at DLT Labs. “It has the promise of truly changing how we do things – right away.”

Intended for professionals who are newer to – or transitioning within – the automotive industry, our next Future Automotive Expert (FAE) event is scheduled for this September, via live webinar!
