His speech will highlight many aspects of perception and acoustics from an unusual point of view: What does a driver in a car need to hear, what does he should not hear and how can the acoustics and sounds of a car help to significantly enhance driving pleasure and safety?

As in previous Conventions such as the one in 2002, the Munich Order Center M,O,C, was chosen as the ideal location for both the Exhibition and the Convention program. With the workshop and tutorial rooms on one side of the hallway and the exhibition on the other, there will be close contact between the two parts of the convention.
