OmniAir Texas Plugfest & Connected Vehicle Workshop
Connected Vehicle Workshop – $250 government; $500 OmniAir members and $800 for the rest
The OmniAir Texas Plugfest will feature a Connected Vehicle Workshop on the first day (Monday, October 22), with expert panels discussing technical and policy issues, with a networking reception.
This will be followed by four days (October 23-26) of intensive conformance, interoperability, security, and field testing across multiple testing stations, operated by leading test labs from around the world. Although this portion of the event is reserved for those conducting testing, OmniAir is providing guided tours of both the bench and field-testing areas in the morning, before you fly out that day. This is a great opportunity for those interested in learning more and seeing first-hand what it takes for a V2X device to become OmniAir Certified.
