The fundamental question facing the telematics industry right now is; how do you deliver a wholly connected car user experience that will satisfy today's consumers and keep them coming back for more? The Telematics Detroit 2013 Conference & Exhibition (June 5-6, Novi, MI) will bring together the global telematics ecosystem to uncover how to deliver fully integrated services, master the user experience and build a brand affinity that lasts a lifetime. Here are some of the highlights:

- Network with 1800+ senior-level execs from OEMs, dealerships, insurers, government, Tier 1s, content providers and wireless carriers to secure crucial relationships and elevate your business' global profile in this rapidly evolving market place
- Key topics discussed will include connectivity business models, end-to-end telematics platforms, V2X technologies, big data, open app development and the dealer relationship, to help you master the connected car user experience
