LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT On behalf of the entire OESA team, I am delighted to welcome you to the Automotive Supplier Conference: The Future Is Calling… How Will You Answer? The future of automotive is now. The call for new vehicle innovation and opportunities to collaborate throughout the industry continues to rapidly change the industry’s landscape. For suppliers, there are new opportunities and challenges as the industry evolves. Today’s conference explores the future of the automotive industry and showcases the many ways organizations are driving it. This year’s agenda features many new updates including expanded exhibitor and networking space. Also new this year are “Industry Shorts” on some the industry’s hottest topics, including ESG, semiconductors and workforce challenges. OESA is excited to welcome morning keynote speaker, Josh Linkner to the mainstage. Linkner is a Detroit native, New York Times best-selling author, and an expert on innovation, disruption, and hyper-growth leadership.
