WCX LEADERSHIP SUMMITEXPERIENCE THE BUSINESS OF TECHNOLOGYExecutives tackle tough issues and explore hot topics in technology and business development in the interactive, collaborative Executive Leadership Summit.

TIME TUESDAY, APRIL 10 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11 THURSDAY, APRIL 12

9 a.m. CONNECTED CAR TO CONNECTED WORLD – THE ROAD TO MONETIZATIONYesterday it was all about the connected car and in a blink of the eye we are now witnessing connected car technologies needed to embrace and communicate with the world around them. While this new trend from “Connected Car” to a “Connected World” opens up a vast new landscape of opportunities for the entire ecosystem and supply chain there are also many challenges that will need to be explored or overcome. Will the ecosystem be able to provide solutions and services fast enough to enable seamless and secure communicate with other vehicles, smart cites infrastructures, cloud services and other IoT enabled nodes in the network? If so, how will these companies be able to monetize their technology investments within a Connected World and is their current business models going to be able to compete effectively against all the disruptor innovations that emerge as a part of overcoming the challenges ahead? And is their current business models going to be able to compete effectively against all the disruptor innovations that emerge as a part of overcoming the challenges ahead?

Moderator: Roger C. Lanctot, Automotive Connected Mobility

Panelists: Andrew Till, Harman Connected Services; Paul Pebbles, Maven; Patrick Leteinturier, Infineon Technologies AG; Chris Thibodeau, USHR Auto, Michael Krutz, Wind River

Developed in Collaboration with

CREATING SMART CITIES FOR THE CITIZENS, NOT AS TECHNOLOGICAL PLAYGROUNDS As engineers, we often create technology solutions and seek a problem to solve. Smart Cities requires a new way of thinking - finding out the problems, prioritizing them, then adapting technology or inventing technology to solve them. This is further compounded because it impacts the lives of the citizens for a long time as cities invest for 25 - 50 years. Deeply thinking about ROI and amount of investment is critical. This panel is comprised of members from the public and private sector to talk about the impact of exponential technological growth, policy, legislation, data privacy and all aspects of smart city implementation. Lessons learned will be shared to better understand what is needed as we face an aging and fast-growing population including urban densification.

Moderator: Carla Bailo, Center for Automotive Research

Panelists: Thais Blumenthal de Moraes, Waze ; Tina Quigley, Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada; Andreus Mai, Keolis North America ; Karina Ricks, Pittsburgh’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure

Developed in Collaboration with

NOT DEAD YET—THE EVER-EVOLVING ICE POWERTRAINAt a time when the promise of self-driving, electric vehicles seems to dominate headlines, a significant portion of the industry’s product development, R&D and manufacturing engineering remains linked to the ICE and its Transmission and Driveline. ICE-based powertrains continue to evolve thanks to technology advances making them more efficient, cost competitive, cleaner and better performing. Additionally, they remain vital to future hybrid-electric propulsion. Come hear and engage with leading global powertrain executives as they address next steps for the ICE powertrain--from e-boosters to digital valvetrains to powerful new combustion-control strategies and mild hybridization. This “meshes” with parallel advances on the Transmission/Driveline side, including increasing number of gears, DCT’s, CVT’s and AMT’s.

Moderator: Lindsay Brooke, SAE International

Panelists: Dan Nicholson, General Motors Co.; Dave Filipe, Ford Motor Co.; Christian Billig, BMW Group; Tomonori Niizato, Honda Motor Co.; Jeff Lux, FCA Group; Dr. John Heywood, MIT

10:20 a.m. BREAK

10:40 a.m. A CULTURE OF INNOVATION: DISRUPT OR BE DISRUPTEDThe global landscape is changing rapidly. New players, new markets, and new technologies are disrupting the status quo faster than ever before. What are the implications of this complexity , uncertainty and volatility on industry, existing and traditional manufacturing, retail and industrial? Can established companies survive and thrive by taking advantage of the incredible new opportunities that this disruption is creating, by substantive and scalable innovative, or is a broader cultural transformation needed? Come hear thought leaders discuss changes needed for them to be successful.

Moderator: Viv Goldstein, GE

Panelists: Jeff DeGraff University of Michigan; Jon Medved, OurCrowd; Tim Noonan, NICE Holdings; Anya Babbitt, SPLT

SHARED MOBILITY: 365 DAYS LATER What has changed since WCX17? Mobility service providers are still looking to transforming the transportation industry. Consumers are using these services at a greater and greater rate. Everyone is looking at the automated vehicle and what it will do to create an evolution for this economy. Leaders of this transformation discuss consumer acceptance to leverage untapped capacity, new business models of shared mobility and how advance automated technologies will shape the future of a shared approach to vehicle ownership and usage.

Moderator: Sherif Marakby, Ford Motor Co.

Panelists: Robert Grant, Lyft; Steve Banfield, Reach Now (BMW); Melody Lee, Book by Cadillac; Anya Babbitt, SPLT; Arthur Kipferler, Berylls Strategy Advisors Ltd.

CRITICAL CHALLENGES FACING CTOs AND TECHNICAL EXECUTIVESOne of the biggest challenges facing CTOs and other technical executives is that they need to have one foot in the development of future mobility technology such as electrified vehicle, autonomous/unmanned and Smart Cities while having the other foot in advancing current technologies such as Combustion Engines, Safety and Connectivity. This roundtable will bring together these technical executives to talk about what will the product development look like in the future, the effects of personal computing and software worlds colliding with ground vehicle and aerospace, and how to balance technology portfolio to meet customers’ current needs and predict their future ones.

Moderator: Jeff Gilbert, WWJ

Panelists: Keoki Jackson, Lockheed Martin Corporation; Karthikeyan Natarajan, Tech Mahindra Limited; Dr. Phil Stephenson, PACCAR Inc.; Dr. Tim Gutheit, Infineon Technologies North America Corp; Dr. Ken Washington, Ford Motor Co.
