The executive planning committee for the SPE Automotive Composites Conference & Expo (ACCE, Detroit, Mich., U.S.) announced on Aug. 19 that their ACCE 2021 event, formerly scheduled for Sept. 8-10, 2021, is rescheduled to Nov. 2-4, 2021. ACCE OEM leadership advised they are currently unable to attend in-person meetings, and likely will not be able to in September, due to concerns about the COVID-19 delta variant. The decision to reschedule ACCE was made in consultation with OEMs, conference sponsors, presenters and other ACCE stakeholders.
“Our ACCE OEM leadership advised they are looking forward to ACCE and learning about the latest automotive composites technologies, collaborating and networking,” says ACCE Lead Chair Dr. Leonardo Simon, professor, Chemical Engineering at University of Waterloo. “We have 50 sponsors, 36 exhibits, 60 technical presentations, three keynotes, one panel discussion and are expecting 400 attendees.”
“We are looking forward to ACCE in November,” adds ACCE 2020 Chair and SPE Automotive Div. Chair, Dr. Alper Kiziltas, technical expert, Ford Motor Co. (Dearborn, Mich., U.S.). “ACCE is the best conference and expo with the latest composites technologies for lightweighting, improved performance and styling and adding value to our vehicles.”
