GALM: THE WORLD'S MOST PRACTICAL, APPLICATIONS-FOCUSED AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTWEIGHT VEHICLE SERIES

The Global Automotive Lightweight Materials (GALM) series of conferences are the world's leading conferences on automotive lightweighting.

First launched in London and Detroit in 2012, the conference series have now grown into Asia.

The conferences all aim to provide practical solutions on strategic, tactical and technical challenges, and over the years almost 10,000 automotive experts have taken away invaluable insight and formed business-critical connections.

The GALM conference series includes:

Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Detroit

Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Europe

The Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing Summit Detroit

Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing: Joining, Forming & Manufacturing Technology Europe Summit

New Methodologies For Modeling, Simulation And Testing Congress

Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Asia

GALM Series Attendees Breakdown

Attendees

The GALM Series is renowned globally for hosting the most OEM-led congresses all of which are designed carefully in conjunction with lightweight Engineers and Directors every year to ensure the most practical knowledge is exchanged at every event.

Attending OEMs Have Included

OEMs

Due to the limited material, joining, forming and finishing technology and software available to OEMs globally, we always make sure delegates also come from key suppliers in the global lightweight vehicle arena, so that no influential players are left out in the cost reduction drive.
