"We received very positive feedback for the MOST Cooperation’s support of the MOST Forum and have decided to combine the event with the 2010 All Members Meeting", states Harald Schoepp, member of the MOST Cooperation Steering Committee. "MOST Cooperation members will enjoy exclusive benefits when attending the conference and exhibiting their solutions to the MOST community. We encourage all infotainment experts to submit a conference paper on their latest MOST designs and application results."

Suggested topics include but are not limited to MOST physical layer, MOST networking and system architecture, MOST software and protocols, MOST compliance and quality, MOST series projects experience, MOST and other standards, as well as research and miscellaneous topics such as consumer products in the car. The Call for Speakers is now open and anyone interested is invited to submit a proposal for a paper by June 19, 2009. The goal is to cover a broad field of topics with a wide range of information. The MOST Forum provides an ideal venue to share ideas and experiences, and to discuss the latest news on this de-facto automotive infotainment standard. The international conference and exhibition will bring together top professionals from the automotive electronics industry and academia to exchange information and results of their recent work on the leading infotainment technology. The broad international audience will include researchers, designers, engineers, system developers, as well as purchasers and journalists, up to managers of the industries involved. The industry partners SAE International (www.sae.org) and ZVEI (Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association, www.zvei.org) as well as the media partners Auto Electronics (www.autoelectronics.com), Elektronik automotive (www.elektroniknet.de) and ElektronikPraxis (www.elektronikpraxis.de) are contributing their expertise and technology know-how to set up a premier conference program.
