CAMPBELL, Calif. and AUSTIN, Texas, March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Display Week, presented by the Society for Information Display (SID) is the world's leading international technical event and exhibition for electronic display innovation. Display Week is known for showcasing and launching the industry's hottest innovations in every area of displays, and one of this year's centerpieces will be the Automotive Track "Hot Topic".

"Displays and HMI for automotive applications have been among the most exciting topics at Display Week in recent years," said Rashmi Rao, Senior Director, Harman/Samsung and General Chair of Display Week 2019.  "As a result, at Display Week 2019, SID is going to offer attendees the option of signing up for a designated "one-stop-shop' track that will include access to all the automotive display and HMI programming taking place during the week."

The Automotive "Hot Topic" Track will include:

"As autonomous and electric vehicles change the face of mobility and in-car experiences, this 'mini-conference' is a great opportunity for automotive-focused attendees to learn about the latest advances, and also for other attendees who are looking for a crash course in the automotive industry to immerse themselves in the most important topics and make those right industry connections," said Rao.
