We’ve designed the agenda for Automotive Seating Innovation 2024 to focus largely on realistic solutions and seating concepts, and not conceptual, futuristic ideas. It only makes sense to kick things off with a leading vehicle manufacturing company expert to find out what is realistically possible, feasible and purposeful right here, right now.


Join your peers as we give you the opportunity to hear from Arrival's leading subject matter expert in the seating domains, as he share details on what’s working, what isn’t working and what’s working best.
