Why join

Real Tech. Real Challenges.

Connect your own devices via the BYOD API to apps like karaoke, in-car gaming, and personalized welcome – and show live in the SDV test vehicle what’s possible.

Show what’s possible in a single day of focused collaboration.
Pitch your solution in front of experts – and win prizes, visibility, and new opportunities.
