"Displays and HMI for automotive applications have been among the most exciting topics at Display Week in recent years," said Rashmi Rao, Senior Director, Harman/Samsung and General Chair of Display Week 2019. "As a result, at Display Week 2019, SID is going to offer attendees the option of signing up for a designated "one-stop-shop' track that will include access to all the automotive display and HMI programming taking place during the week."

Also, on Thursday, May 16, there will be an exclusive networking luncheon event for the Automotive Track attendees to rub shoulders with the movers and shakers of the automotive display industry.

"As autonomous and electric vehicles change the face of mobility and in-car experiences, this 'mini-conference' is a great opportunity for automotive-focused attendees to learn about the latest advances, and also for other attendees who are looking for a crash course in the automotive industry to immerse themselves in the most important topics and make those right industry connections." said Rao.
