According to GeNIVI, its conferences will see automakers, suppliers, automotive consortia and leading industry analysts taking part in the following 3 sessions:
Collaborate or Die (United We Stand) focusing on the partnerships, alliances and other collaborative efforts that are facilitating major developments in the sector;
Cars are Connected Where are the Applications which will discuss how automotive applications are still missing from the digital devices passengers carry into their vehicles; and

"The Connected Car Open Automotive Track will serve as an ideal venue for GENIVI, as an open source thought leader, to showcase current and future mobile innovations happening in the money and commerce ecosystems. This unique event will bring automotive industry leaders from across the globe to discuss how the connected car is literally becoming a vehicle for payments and commerce."
