DIDXchange Media Partner for Informa Group's Connected Cars Trade Show and Conference in Europe for 2013

Dallas, TX, October 12, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Featuring the newest connected car models, partnerships and prototypes from the leading automobile OEMs and electronics innovators, the two-day interactive exhibition and conference will open its doors in Frankfurt, home to automobile innovation and investment, on the 14-15th May 2013. Hundreds of DIDXchange members and its media magazine Techistan audience plan to participate.

More than 500 decision makers, 30 exhibitors and 80 international speakers from the entire industry are expected to attend.

The conference, organised by the Software and Services division of Informa Group, will follow the launch event in Dallas this November, which welcomes Hyundai, Toyota, Ford, AT&T, Sprint, Rdio, Panasonic, Nokia, Pandora, Genivi, MERA, Harman and more. The 2013 two day conference agenda places importance on high-level strategic keynotes and candid discussion across three streams covering business models, pricing and global scaling, regulatory impact, standards and global initiatives, and technical access models and innovations.

"We have many requests from among our mobile operator, MVNO and IP communications DIDX members, AstraQom customers who need mobile applications developed, and our online magazine Techistan subscribers for business potential of connected car technologies. As a result, we interviewed Mr. Jeff Mierins, CEO of Star Motors Mercedes and Dow Honda in Ottawa in 2012 about exciting features such as drivers' assist, mBrace mobile application, and radar-based collision prevention and shared the podcasts on the TMCnet blog Monetizing IP Communications and DIDX podcast channel. Recommending our audiences to participate in both the November 2012 Dallas event and the May 2012 Frankfurt event could not have come at a better time," DIDX co-founder and TMCnet blogger Suzanne Bowen states.

In addition to the conference programme, an "interactive free to attend" exhibition will lead the networking breaks with in car entertainment, apps village, ‘drive thru’, wifi zone, automobile innovation and vision of a connected car theatres.

Sophie Powell, Portfolio Manager for Software and Services comments “We are excited to be delivering this dedicated event following comments from industry on wanting a meeting place with genuinely high level decision making attendees and strategic CxO level presentations. Given our existing relationship with the mobile operator wholesale and tech community and past successes in convergence events we are looking forward to offering something a bit different – we hope to see you at the ‘drive in’ to discuss the future of connected cars and how customer loyalty retention in this sector can turn to eventual revenue generation for partners! It’s another fascinating area to cover where connectivity is changing everything.”
