Review & Picture Impressions 2022

The 4th International Automotive Computing Conference (ACC) was held in Frankfurt/Main, Germany on November 9-10, 2022.

The overall feedback on the conference was great and with so many event attendees and our highly-valued partners, it became clear that this event has proven to be an important conference for manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, and technology companies within the automotive high performance computing environment.

As of today, it is far too early to announce the conference program for the 5th Automotive Computing Conference, but we can assure you that we – in cooperation with our founding partners Arm, Elektrobit, and Synopsys, as well as with our advisory board – have already begun work to provide an outstanding line-up of speakers and presentations for 2023.

In 2023, the ACC conference will take place on November 14 and 15 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. So make sure to mark your calendar!
