Content that Inspires You

The WCX™ World Congress Experience is where the engineering community convenes on mobility’s biggest challenges—and opportunities. SAE International is always on the cutting edge, leading discussions around how integrated vehicle connectivity translates to a potential space for mobility, the place of electricity, hydrogen and other low carbon fuels in powering the vehicle of tomorrow, and just what exactly it will take to reach Level 5 in SAE’s Levels of Automation. We’re staying one step ahead, challenging ourselves to not only ask what’s next, but also what’s the next next, and at WCX, we’re bringing you along for the ride.

Program Your Experience at Interactive Sessions, Presentations, & Panels
Open a Tab at the Knowledge Bar

At the SAE EDGE™ Reports’ Knowledge Bar you are encouraged to come prepared with your questions to our assembled group of subject matter experts (SME). Each SME will lead 40-minute expert discussions on the critical technologies moving the advancement of design, deployment, and development of future vehicles forward.  The knowledge bar is a great place to get your questions addressed and to help problem solve issues on unsettled and established technologies in a casual “small group” environment.
