Letter from the OESA President OESA is delighted to host the 2021 Automotive Supplier Conference “Beyond Disruption". Our goal for today is to foster strategic thinking and dialogue to enable us to move beyond the current industry disruptions. The strategic leadership you provide to your organizations is vital to your company’s long-term success. We hope today’s speakers provide you with vision, optimism and enthusiasm for the coming years in the industry. We will kick off the day with New York Times best-selling author, Dan Pink. He will share his insights on Leadership, Innovation, and the Surprising Truth of Human Motivation. He is the author of seven books, including the forthcoming The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward (Riverhead, 2022), When, A Whole New Mind, Drive and To Sell is Human. Following Pink, supplier leaders, OEM executives, leaders in capital markets and industry forecasting, and government advocates will share their unique perspectives on the impact of disruptions in the industry. They will discuss how organizations are innovating their businesses to move “Beyond Disruption” to forge a new automotive and mobility landscape. Thank you for attending today’s conference. OESA appreciates your support and participation in this important dialogue. As always, please feel free to contact me at 248.430.5963 or jfream@oesa.org.

With disruption all around us, standing still is not an option. The automotive industry is experiencing disruption as technology and user behavior is transforming traditional vehicle manufacturing. Significant model disruption in the mobility sector will continue as new players enter the industry and others adapt and embrace the changes. Success happens when we drive forward.
