“AUTOCEE2001 will present the best chance in all of next year to exchange ideas, make contacts and learn about developments in the auto industry in Eastern Europe,” Stephen Butler, director of WBR’s automotive practice, said. “Newcomers as well as veterans to the region will discover a variety of invaluable opportunities.”

The main sessions on January 24-25 will centre on the advanced economies of Central Europe, including four markets slated to joint the European Union – Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. Speeches by automakers and their parts suppliers, plus noted observers, will touch on key aspects of building and selling vehicles in the region.

To augment the core proceedings, panels will be convened on commercial vehicles, e-commerce, parts procurement and regional strategies amid a globalising industry.

Attendees will be able to pursue individualised discussions with each other at dedicated dinners and lunches plus champagne roundtables and coffee breaks.
