ADVISORY/Forrester Research Automotive Summit

    --Forrester Research,

WHAT:      Forrester Research Automotive Summit, "Between Push And
           Pull: The New Demand-Driven Auto Industry"

           Faced with well-informed consumers, fierce competition,
           and chronic vehicle surpluses, the pressure is on OEMs to
           change the way they do business. Becoming responsive to
           real end-customer demand will require a move from the
           traditional mass production mentality to an adaptive,
           flexible business model that is supported by adaptive,
           flexible, and integrated systems.

           Key Takeaways:
           This one-day Summit will focus on achieving a real-time
           response to consumer demand, reduced inventories,
           decreased time-to-market, and reduced marketing and
           incentive costs. Ultimately, demand-driven OEMs will open
           a sizeable lead over slow-to-respond competitors by
           learning:

           --  Which technologies will accelerate the move to a
               demand-driven model.
           --  How OEMs can overcome people and process obstacles.
           --  Which OEMs are leading the way and what are they
               doing.
