The Symposium is sponsored by the Regional Growth Partnership, a private economic development organization in Northwest Ohio. The RGP also serves as the regional network partner for JobsOhio and works to support the automotive and transportation industry. The event attracts attendees from local companies—large and small, economic development organizations, academia, and government officials. We strongly encourage small- or medium-sized companies to attend as we want them to be aware of the transition to EVs and all the opportunities (and threats) this transition poses.

The Symposium is an educational and communications event which addresses issues related to EV advanced automation adoption including labor, technology, plant operations, consumer preferences, training, etc. The speakers and panelists provide varied perspectives from OEM’s, auto suppliers, auto associations, academia, consulting, regulators, and start-up companies.
