The 13th Regional Automotive Supplier Conference, hosted by the QFD Group, has come to a successful close. This year’s event attracted more than 250 participants, including major automotive suppliers, OEMs, and industry experts from across the region, providing a unique opportunity to explore the latest trends shaping the automotive industry.
The conference featured a packed agenda with a variety of workshops, insightful presentations, factory tours, and interactive sessions. Participants were able to dive deep into topics such as AI in automotive applications, the future of electric vehicles, and the challenges of packaging logistics in the sector. One of the highlights was the keynote presentation by Mr. Michael Breme, Chairman of the Board at AUDI Hungaria Zrt., who shared his insights on the future of the industry. In the early afternoon, Jens Bühler, the director of the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kecskemét, presented the forward-looking initiatives of the factory.
Workshops covered practical topics, allowing participants to engage in hands-on learning and in-depth discussions. Factory tours gave attendees an exclusive look at cutting-edge technologies and processes shaping the future of automotive manufacturing.
In addition to the sessions, the exhibition space was fully booked, showcasing the latest innovations and services from leading automotive suppliers and industry partners. Attendees had the chance to connect, share ideas, and form new partnerships in an engaging and vibrant atmosphere.
The gala dinner offered a memorable conclusion to the first day of the event, providing the perfect setting for participants to network in a relaxed environment. The evening entertainment, including live music and a raffle, added to the lively and enjoyable ambiance.
We are pleased to report that the feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive. Many found the presentations and workshops to be highly informative and directly relevant to their work, with a strong focus on practical applications and the latest industry innovations. The opportunity to engage in B2B meetings and factory visits was also highly appreciated, as it provided valuable insights into best practices and real-world solutions.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended the 13th Regional Automotive Supplier Conference. The event would not have been the success it was without the contributions of our speakers, exhibitors, and participants. A special thank you to our sponsors for their generous support.
