A major international motoring conference is scheduled for Killarney in May.
Electronomous, now in its second year and one of Europe's leading automotive technology events, will take place at the INEC in the Gleneagle Hotel, from May 2 to 3.
This international conference brings together world class speakers, exhibitors and delegates in the field of electric vehicles, connected car technology, cyber security and autonomous vehicles.
Iconic automotive brands already confirmed for the conference include Toyota and Honda.
The conference is divided into three different sections with the opening day focusing on connected cars. Friday morning’s session is all about electric cars while the afternoon element deals with autonomous vehicles.
Speakers include Pim Van der Jagt, managing director of the Ford Research Centre in Germany and James McCarthy, CEO of Nissan Ireland.
The conference is organised by Cartell.ie, the main sponsor of the Rally of the Lakes which starts later on May 3 from the town centre.
“It provides a unique glimpse at how technology will affect the automotive industry, insurance industry, car finance industry, car sales and motoring into the future,” said Cartell.ie’s Richard Lahiff.
“It also offers an unprecedented opportunity to network with industry leaders and leading experts in these fields, while also providing a great platform to create new business relationships.”
The event will be hosted by Quentin Wilson, one of the UK’s most-respected motoring journalists and a former presenter of BBC’s Top Gear.
A convoy of electric vehicles, driven from Dublin to Killarney, will deliver delegates to the conference on the Thursday morning.
