SAE acquired the IAM show from the Engineering Society in 1995 as part of
its new strategic goal to expand more into the manufacturing enterprise and to
encourage organizations to consider a product's entire life cycle. SAE aims
to help companies decrease costs, increase the pace at which products reach
the market, and enhance the quality and reliability of products.
IAM is the only event in North America that comprises all technologies,
products, and services that impact automotive manufacturing. IAM is sponsored
by SAE and co-sponsored by The Engineering Society (ESD).
The chair of IAM '98 is Frank J. Ewasyshyn, Vice President, Advanced
Manufacturing Engineering, Chrysler Corporation. Plans for the technical
program and the special panel discussions are underway. The preliminary
program will be ready in early December. To request a copy, contact SAE at
