The week starts off with a half-day policy workshop featuring guest speakers from the automotive, technology, security and transportation sectors; followed by a welcome reception.

Bench testing at Intertek will be conducted in separate spaces allowing device makers and test providers a higher level of privacy. There will be individual test sessions, group interoperability, and parallel learning sessions.

Field Testing at the American Center for Mobility’s site comes with a number of desirable features Plugfest participants will appreciate including double overpasses, a railroad crossing, and a highway loop to test at sustained highway speeds. Testing can occur during all four seasons, day and night, in sun, rain, ice, and snow.

Do you have OmniAir Certification? If so, you still have several reasons to participate.  There are a few new test procedures for you and those that are close to certification.

If this is your first Plugfest or second, OmniAir has hardened Release 1 test procedures that will help you get that much closer to certification.

OmniAir is limiting the number of devices allowed to participate. OmniAir members may contact Ryan Hall, rhall@omniair.org or 202-744-6480, directly to secure their slot before tickets go on sale to the greater V2X market next month. Device makers that are not members may secure a coveted test slot early by becoming an event sponsor. The Motor City Plugfest would not be possible without the generous support of Intertek, the American Center for Mobility, and corporate sponsors. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available. Please contact Ryan Hall for details.
