The Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association, the commercial vehicle division of the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA), has announced that Bill Forsythe, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and a U.S. heavy-duty and off-highway leader, will speak at the fourth annual Off-Highway Dialogue (OHD) conference.
Forsythe will be unveiling a new off-highway vehicle (OHV) market study to be conducted with HDMA’s off-highway members. Forsythe’s dinner presentation, titled “Leveraging Supplier Relationships to Drive Innovation and a Competitive Advantage in the Off-Highway Sector,” will outline the study to be conducted over the first and second quarters of 2016. The results of this study will be compiled and unveiled at Off-Highway Dialogue 2016.
The executive dinner, presented by Deloitte, is a new feature to OHD this year. OHD ‘15 attendees will be treated to an extended networking session with a one-hour reception followed by dinner.
Off-Highway Dialogue will be held from 10:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 5, and will include dinner and a reception at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. The conference is jointly presented by HDMA and SAE International, and immediately precedes SAE/COMVEC.
HDMA’s Off-Highway Dialogue Conference was developed for, and is attended by, the off-highway industry’s executive leadership from the commercial vehicle supplier, OEM executive, financial analyst and media communities. Registrants for the Off-Highway Outlook Conference can attend the SAE/COMVEC Expo with their Off-Highway Dialogue conference admission.
Registration for this event is now open and available on HDMA’s website, hdma.org.
