Why Vancouver?
By forging an alliance with GLOBE 2008 International Conference & Trade Fair on Business and the Environment, Auto FutureTech Summit 2008 gained some key benefits:
- The global shift in the automotive industry is an international issue. GLOBE provided an international stage on which to address it.
- The future of the automobile is integral to climate change and energy, and visa versa. These are key themes of the GLOBE event, and thus the thought leaders championing these issues were there, and they were strategizing for the future.
- Summit participants had access to not only the Auto FutureTech event, but all GLOBE 2008 Conference sessions on Corporate Sustainability, Finance, Energy & the Environment, and Urban Sustainability. This broadened the networking opportunities and at a senior level.
- Instant access to hundreds of international senior executives and high level government regulators and policy makers. These decision-makers were cross-sectoral and represented the oil and gas industry, utilities, the automotive sector, insurance and re-insurance, the legal, chemical and manufacturing sectors, and a host of others. GLOBE 2008 hosted more than 11,000 participants from more than 75 economies.
- Vancouver is considered a Gateway to Asia thus providing a window into China, where a huge market is ready to unfold. GLOBE attracted hundreds of participants from Asia and Europe, creating an unparalleled global networking opportunity.
- Auto FutureTech taped into the hundreds of international media that already attended the GLOBE event.
- In addition to being a Gateway to Asia, the West Coast is known for its progressive approach to regulations and legislations in sectors impacting the auto industry. The hosting of Auto FutureTech Summit 2008 in the sustainable city of Vancouver made for a natural fit.
