EVU and ITAI 2009
In 2009, the EVU Annual Meeting and the ITAI International Conference will be combined. The EVU-ITAI Conference will be from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September 2009. It will be held at the Hinckley Island Hotel, near Hinckley, Leicestershire. You can see details of the hotel at http://www.barcelo-hotels.co.uk/hotels/central-england/barcelo-hinckley-island-hotel The nearest airports are Birmingham International and Nottingham East Midlands.
On Friday we will have a "field day" which we hope will take place on the test track at MIRA (Motor Industry Research Association), 9 km from the hotel. We have not yet decided what we will do there - they have full crash test facilities - but at the moment we are considering for part of the day demonstrations of modern control and stability systems - electronic stability control, automatic hazard detection and braking etc. However we would be very happy to receive suggestions from EVU members.
The conference will be held on Saturday and Sunday. Persons attending the meeting will be able to choose whether they come to both the field day and the conference or the conference only, and the amount they have to pay will vary accordingly.
At the same time as the conference we will have an exhibition of products and services, and we already have exhibitors interested, at least one of whom also wishes to sponsor the field day.
Preliminary Programme
