Connected Car Show to Be ‘Co-Located’ With CE Week at Javits, Says Sponsor MEA

The Mobile Electronics Association will launch the Connected Car Show July 20-21 as a “co-located” event with the IFA-sponsored CE Week New York conference at the Javits Convention Center, said the trade group Tuesday. The Connected Car Show’s focus will be on raising “awareness to changing vehicle technology trends” in the automotive OEM and aftermarket spaces, said MEA: “The exhibit floor will feature innovative companies whose connected-vehicle products currently drive the market.” Various “thought-provoking” workshops will “explore the future of automotive technology and outline how autonomous technology will change the driving experience,” it said. “In light of recent events, safety and the driver's changing role will be key issues.”
