International VDI Conference - Automotive Data Communication 2024

The international VDI conference "Automotive Data Communication 2024" deals with the current status and future developments of on-board data network architectures in vehicles. You will learn about the advantages of zonal E/E architectures and how to realize high-performance and efficient data transmission with low latency for software-defined vehicles. Discuss with top-class experts from the industry which solutions are target-oriented in the area of conflict between technological progress and economic efficiency, and how you can keep vehicle safety and security in mind.

Zonal architecture for a lighter harness

The on-board network architecture of vehicles is undergoing a fundamental change. Conventional architectures with signal-based communication and physically separate bus systems are to be replaced by zonal E/E architectures. In this, the end devices are not distributed according to their function, but according to their optimal location in the vehicle. In this way, the total length of the wiring harness, which is one of the largest, heaviest and therefore most cost-intensive components in the vehicle, is reduced by up to 50%. In addition, new functions can be implemented in future architectures through updates independently of the bus system and hardware.

The international VDI conference "Automotive Data Communication 2024" will focus on the challenges associated with the development of the on-board data network of the future. Listen to cutting-edge presentations by leading experts from the automotive electronics and software environment. By attending the conference, you will not only be able to follow the technical discourse, but also to actively shape it with your own contributions. The accompanying exhibition informs you about current product trends and offers you the opportunity to find new partners for your projects.

Target group

The VDI conference "Automotive Data Communication 2024" is aimed at specialists and managers from OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, semiconductor manufacturers, and cable and connector manufacturers. In particular, it addresses employees who deal with the topics of "In-Vehicle Communication" and "In-Vehicle Networks".
