At the heart of this transformation liesCMF (Color\, Material\, and Finish) strategy\, a powerful tool in defining brand identity\, shapingconsumer perception\, and delivering a cohesive design language across the cabin. Today materials\, beside their peculiar properties\, are called to do more than look and feel good—they must also support sustainability goals without compromising performance or aesthetics. From seating systems and cockpits to interior lighting\, the synergy between design innovation and responsible material use is what defines Next-Gen Interiors. \nKey Sessions: \n\nInterior design trends in a holistic approach that combine User experience\, ergonomics & sustainable materials\nInterior lighting part of the global vehicle experience\, and how it interferes with CMF design\nMaterial sustainability importance\, how designers can take advantage of these new materials and be incorporated into the car brand DNA\n\nSpeakers & Panels: \nTop voices from automotive interior & CMF design studios\, interior lighting\, Cockpit and material will share their insights. Expect keynote talks\, expert panels\, and roundtable sessions fostering dialogue across design\, engineering\, and sustainability disciplines. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nInspire bold\, responsible interior designs with emerging trends and insights\nDrive collaboration between designers\, engineers\, and material innovators.\nShowcase breakthrough technologies redefining the cabin experience.\n\nThe DVN Interior Workshop is the industry’s premier platform dedicated to Interior Design\, CMF\, Smart Interior Lighting\, and Sustainable Innovation. Join leading designers\, CMF experts\, engineers\, and visionaries to explore the future of vehicle interiors—where UX/UI\, material responsibility\, and design excellence meet. \nIf you want to immerse yourself in the futuristic world of Auto interior\, in the heart of the world of Design\, join our workshop in Torino! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThey participated: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\nAndras PalffyCo-Founder - Percv.ai Andrew BatesVice President\, Automated Driving - Forvia Hella \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers Presentations\n\n\n\n\n\nDAY 1 • JANUARY 14\, 2026\n\n\n\nSESSION 1 – INTERIOR DESIGN: DRIVING THE CAR INTERIOR FUTURE – PART 1\n\n\n\nChairman: Paul Henri Matha – DVN \n\n\n\nStellantis – Michele Longo\, Head of Fiat&Abarth Interior Design \n\n\n\nForvia – Andreas Wlasak\, Global VP Design\nWhen nothing is certain\, everything is possible \n\n\n\nGranstudio – Wouter Struijk\, Senior Design Manager\nFast Phygital Prototyping : A Lynk & Co Case Study on DIGIPHY \n\n\n\nS&P Global Mobility – Sascha Klapper\, Research and Analysis Manager:\nInterior Industry challenges.

Since their inception\, DVN Lidar & ADAS Conferences have quickly become the must-go technical congress to see and hear all about the latest innovations amidst the galloping growth of the automotive lidar & ADAS sector. \nAligned with the conference program\, we have planned ample time during breaks to visit the exhibition and get into contact with executives\, decision makers\, experts\, potential suppliers\, customers. OEMs usually attending are BMW\, Ford\, GM\, Hyundai Kia Motors\, Honda\, Mercedes\, Nissan\, Porsche\, Stellantis\, Volvo\, VW\, Zoox\, Torc Robotics\, Scania\, Iveco. \nNEW this year: \n\nFrom 2025\, the new scope of DVN Lidar is DVN Sensing & Applications for ADAS/AD: as a consequence\, the scope of the Conference is extended this year to all “ADAS Sensing & Applications”\nMore rides & drives have been planned\, after the success of last year\n\nLike last year\, the conference will be held at the Dorint Pallas Hotel in Wiesbaden (about 30 minutes from Frankfurt airport or Frankfurt main railway station by train or taxi). The conference room can accommodate up to 300 participants. The exhibition area is directly adjacent to the conference room\, with space for 20-25 expo booths. The exhibition area will host the cocktail and dinner event on the first day as well as all coffee breaks and lunch breaks. \nEric Amiot\, DVN Sensing & Applications General Editor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers presentations\n\n\n\n\nTo view the presentation\, you must be a workshop participant or a Sensing & Applications Gold Member. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  DAY 1 – November 19th\, 2025 – AD Applications & Markets\, Perception Systems\n\n  Session 1:APPLICATIONS (PART1): L2+\, L3 AND ROBOTAXIS\n\n  Keynote: Great Wall Motors – Peng Yan Lun\, Technical Director: Driving the Autonomous Future: The Revolution from BEV to E2E and VLA – Deconstructing the Next Wave of Development in China’s L2+ Market \n\n  Keynote: WAYVE – Dan McCloskey\, VP of Hardware \n\n  Keynote: VALEO – Benazouz Bradai\, Director Innovation AD \n  Download the PDF \n\n  Keynote: i4Research – Luc Bourgeois\, Expert DVN: L2+ Perf. tests in China \n\n  Keynote: AUMOVIO – Bernd Hartmann\, Head of Innovation Line Driveless: Faster Innovation Through Smart partnerships \n\n  Keynote: APTIV – Gabor Vinci\, Head of Business Dev.

SUMMARY:DVN Shanghai Lighting Workshop 2025
DESCRIPTION:Download event flyer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 37th DVN Lighting workshop will take place in Shanghai on October 29-30\, 2025. \nDVN are back in China for the 8th time. This past April\, we witnessed the impressive development speed in China\, the large number of new vehicle reveals\, and the super-crowded event. Now\, six months on\, we sit down and take time\, all together\, to analyze the lighting content presented at the Shanghai auto show\, and to see what’s coming next.So the primary main anchors for the event are speed\, cost\, and technology\, and the theme is Vehicle Lighting Tech\, Cost\, & Speed in China’s Disruptive Market. \nAt the Shanghai auto show\, three lighting trends held my attention: \nPersonalization and gamification in the UX and hardware and software content of interior and exterior lighting;The need for V2X communications – ISDs\, turquoise AD lamps\, etc – especially for vehicles with L2+ or L3 ADAS and AD content;The interior-lighting shift from static solutions focused on wellbeing to sequential solutions to communicate with the driver.Based on these observations\, we are organizing an event at a conference centre where we will have exhibition space\, including a dark room for interior and exterior lighting demonstrations. The vehicle exhibition will be extended\, too\, with more vehicles to see and analyze. \nSessions will include safety\, lighting performance\, light source development (including LED\, mini- and microLED\, OLED\, and laser)\, EE architecture\, regulation\, car body lighting (charging lamps\, lit bumpers · grilles · logos\, ISDs\, road projections)\, lighting for design\, and – for the first time – an interior lighting session. \nYoung designers from the China Academy of Art will present their vehicle lighting design projects and describe how they have integrated lighting into the cars. They will also take part in the panel discussion about vehicle design and lighting needs. \nThis Shanghai DVN Workshop will bring together more than 500 participants from all over the world. Experts\, researchers\, managers\, designers\, engineers…and you! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\nAndras PalffyCo-Founder - Percv.ai Andrew BatesVice President\, Automated Driving - Forvia Hella \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPreliminary Program\n\n\n\n\n	\n					\n				Tab 1\n			\n						\n				DAY 2\n			\n						\n				Tab 3\n			\n						\n				Tab 4\n			\n						\n				Tab 5\n			\n				\n	\n		\n\n	\n\n\n08:00 am: Registration & Breakfast \n\n\n09:30 am: Opening & Welcome by DVN – Paul Henri Matha\, CEO with: \n\n\n\n\nChina Association of Automobile Manufacturers – Ye Shengji\, Chief Engineer\n\n\nBYD 13th Business Unit/Fudi Lighting – Sun Shixiang\, Vice General Manager\n\n\n\n\n09:45 am: Keynote speeches \n\n\n\n\nAutomobility Limited – Bill Russo\, Founder & CEO: How China’s Digital Ecosystems are Re-Shaping Intelligent Connectivity\n\n\nTrendforce – Joanne Wu\, Assistant Vice President: 2025 Micro/Mini LED Automotive Lighting and Display Trend (Incl.
