Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering and Technology Symposium (GVSETS) & Advanced Planning Briefings for Industry (APBI)

Call for Abstracts Now Open. Visit http://www.ndia-mich.org/gvsets/technical-papers for more information.
Abstract submissions are due March 12, 2021

BRIDGING THE GAP & TRANSITIONING TECHNOLOGIES TO THE WARFIGHTER
By August, GVSETS & APBI should be back LIVE! This means the ability to personally network and share technical research to over 1,500 attendees.

As new and innovative technologies are developed by academia, industry, and government, the U.S. Military is constantly looking to integrate them into current and future military ground vehicles. However, one of the greatest challenges is bridging the gap between fundamental research in the lab and integrating these new capabilities onto the battlefield. Thus, the theme for this years Technical Sessions will be to Bridge the Transition Gap!

TECHNICAL PAPER SCOPES
Scientists and engineers from government, academia and industry will be invited to submit abstracts for Technical Papers. The selected Papers will be published and presented at the event in August.

Paper scopes include:
Additive Manufacturing
Autonomy, Artificial Intelligence & Robotics (AAIR)
Cybersecurity of Ground Systems
Modeling Simulation and Software (MS2)
Power and Mobility
Survivability
Vehicle Electronics and Architecture (VEA)

EVENT DETAILS COMING SOON!

Free Webcast | Live Q&A with panelists | AUGUST 10 @ 1PM
Register: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1920990166406754832?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Promote-MEDC-Supplier-Diversity-Webcast-20210719&utm_term=Promote-ThirdParty_received_did_not_open

Want to eliminate production downtime, discover new products and services and further your company’s commitment to a more inclusive, equitable economy? Connecting with minority suppliers can help you achieve these goals and more.

Disruptions in the global supply chain over the past year have put a focus on the need for buyers to diversify. Connecting with minority-owned suppliers (including companies owned by people of color, women, veterans, tribes and those who identify as LGBTQ) can not only help prevent production downtime, but these connections can lead to new products and services, as well as showing your company’s commitment to working toward a more inclusive, equitable economy.

Panelists include:
* Ken Doherty, Associate Vice President, Procurement & Strategic Sourcing, Wayne State University
* Debra Quade, Supplier Diversity Manager, Kellogg
* Tanya Markos-Vanno, Development & Operations Manager, Pure Michigan Business Connect
* MarcQus Wright, Co-Owner, Daddy’s Dough Cookies

Join this free webcast to learn:

* How diversifying your supply chain can help your company stay competitive.
* Why minority-owned suppliers have a higher level of resiliency than the suppliers you have traditionally relied on.
* How to connect with minority-owned businesses for supply chain needs.
