`
`
`For over 25 years the Convergence Transportation Electronics Association
`(CTEA) has sponsored the premier automotive electronics conference in the world --
`Convergence. This conference has continually brought together the leading technologists,
`engineers, and executives in the world. As Chairman for Convergence 2000, I am proud
`Delphi Automotive Systems is continuing that rich tradition.
`
`The theme for Convergence 2000 is Automotive Electronics: Delivering Technologyís Promise.
`In my opinion, we have yet to deliver that promise. This conference will provide us the forum to
`answer: "What must we do as an industry to deliver? What are the major challenges we face as
`we carry out this formidable challenge? What are our social responsibilities? What are the
`implications of this infotronics revolution?"
`
`From October 16 - 18, 2000, this conference will showcase three executive panels. Thirteen
`technical sessions will present at least 75 papers examining everything from smart sensing,
`mobile information and entertainment to trends, standards and even the "electronic cocoon."
`Convergence 2000 will provide a thought-provoking, global forum for more than 6,000+
`attendees to participate and learn. Additionally, this conference will double the exhibit space of
`the last conference to showcase over 140 state-of-the-art exhibits. Due to the continued growth
`and overwhelming interest, Convergence 2000 will be held, for the first time ever, at Cobo
`Center in Detroit, Michigan.
`
`The Keynote speakers for Convergence 2000 are a virtual "whoís who" in the electronics and
`automotive industries. Participants include leading CEOs: Scott McNealy of Sun Microsystems;
`Shoichiro Irimajiri of Sega Enterprises, Ltd.; Carly Fiorina of Hewlett Packard; and C. Michael
`Armstrong of AT&T.; The conference banquet on Wednesday, October 18 will feature William
`Ford, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Ford Motor Company.
`
`Electronics, technology and innovation exemplify Convergence. Please make plans now to
`attend Convergence 2000: October 16 - 18, 2000 at Cobo Center, Detroit, Michigan.
