SMALL BUT PERFECTLY FORMED

Automotive Interiors Expo, a new show that provides the automotive design, development, engineering and manufacturing communities with a first-class international showcase exhibition for car and truck interiors, made a successful debut in June 2010 at the Stuttgart Messe.

Running alongside the well-established Automotive Testing Expo and three other automotive-themed events, Automotive Interiors Expo was hailed as a great success by both exhibitors and visitors alike. What is clear is that automotive interior designers are very much in favour of having their own dedicated interiors show featuring the major OEMs and tier 1 suppliers with high levels of attendance from car manufacturers, styling studios and interiors integrators. UKIP Media & Events are, without doubt, the best company to develop this show within the automotive world.

Although the exhibition was relatively small in 2010, the companies that worked at the inaugural event have shown fantastic support for the future of Automotive Interiors Expo which is now set to grow in terms of number of exhibitors and exhibition floor space in 2011.

One of the star attractions at the first ever Automotive Interiors Expo was the Styling and Technology Studio, which hosted a number of topical presentations and sessions that delved into the different aspects of the automotive interiors sector, including style trends and culture, design challenges and synergy, modular vision, new technologies for safety and comfort, innovative lighting designs and a renewed sustainable approach to interior component design and technology. The studio sessions featured a number of high profile speakers from companies from around the world such as Daimler AG, Nissan, Renault, Lear Corporation and Fiat.

The Styling and Technology Studio was a tremendous success in this first year and we look forward to building on this to create a unique and free-to-attend environment for the discussion of ideas in the future.

Having been deemed a success by all, Automotive Interiors Expo 2010 ended on a high note when Tony Robinson, CEO at UKIP Media & Events, confirmed the event will return to the Stuttgart Messe next year, taking place on 17, 18, 19 May, 2011. “Automotive Interiors Expo 2010 has been a great success. The Styling and Technology Studio created a huge amount of interest and stimulated debate from the audience. The exhibitors were pleased with the quality of the visitors, while the visitors were delighted with the technologies, concepts and ideas on show. Next year’s Automotive Interiors Expo will not only be better but bigger as well!”
