The Automotive Circle and OEM Advisory Board of the conference consisting of the following experts:

Virtual networking is very important for us at Automotive Circle. Normally we value this on-site at our conferences, but due to the pandemic we have to set up a little differently. Therefore we integrated the tool wonder.me in our virtual conferences. With wonder you have the opportunity to get in contact with the speakers and other participants by chat or individual "meeting room". There is no need to set up any meetings before - you can meet other peers spontanously. It's very simple and intuitive to operate. Here is a short video how it works:

You will receive the login data for wonder.me after you have registered successfully.

Take advantage of the high coverage of the Automotive Circle and profit from the sponsoring options before and during the events. Show your competence and services, matching the conference subjects, to the numerous car body engineers of international OEM. Thus, you are strengthening your brand awareness in the automotive industry!

Come on board as a sponsor and benefit from this excellent platform to strongly promote your company’s capabilities as a reliable supplier!
