The EV Exchange focuses on three key electric vehicle and energy stakeholder communities: electric vehicle manufacturers and suppliers; energy, utilities and other infrastructure entities needed to create a backbone to enable an influx of EVs; and state, local and federal regulatory and policy agencies.
“The EV Exchange conference is the first of its kind to join key stakeholders in EV and mobility implementation. They will include those involved in the energy grid, manufacturers, tech and ancillary product manufacturers like batteries, charging stations and more,” Martha Donato, Founder and President of MAD Event Management, said. “This think-tank style meeting is happening in the automotive capital of the world, Detroit. We’re receiving a high level of support from the city and looking forward to continuing our relationship and bringing this conference to Motor City for many years to come.”
As the heart of the American automotive industry, it is apropos that this conference is being held in Detroit.
“As electrification becomes crucial to the future of automobility, the EV Exchange is the perfect vehicle for Detroit to command center stage as the world leader in automotive innovation,” Claude Molinari, CEO of Visit Detroit, said. “We are so proud to host this world-class event.”
