AMM EVENTS’ 3rd annual

AUTOMOTIVE METALS CONFERENCE

Navigating Through Auto’s New World

October 28-30, 2008

Marriott Detroit at the Renaissance Center – Detroit, MI 

 

In 2008, AMM Events is proud to bring its Automotive Metals Conference to the Motor City of Detroit, Michigan!

 

This year’s event will drive home the importance of examining supply trends in the new world that is cutting across the auto industry. Seasoned executives and industry experts from the auto and metals industries will examine their changing business environment and speak about strategies, trends and the battle for market share in this dynamic business.

 

As one of the most important markets to the metals business, this event will examine the changing trends in the automotive sector and its inevitable impact on steel, aluminum and magnesium. As cars are smaller, greener and more fuel efficient, suppliers and consumers are facing changes. Join AMM in downtown Detroit to hear from the metals and auto elite who are facing auto’s new world.

 

Topics covered include:

- Auto and metals purchasing strategies and trends

- North American and international auto industry outlook

- Raw materials forecast and impact

- The move toward greener, more efficient vehicles

- The battle for market share among the various metals

- Plus a FREE Workshop – The Collision of the Auto Industry and Bankruptcies

  The workshop, hosted by McGuireWoods LLP, will help to arm auto suppliers with techniques  

  and information to enable them to protect their interests and maximize returns.
