Reed Exhibitions, organizer of Quality Expo Detroit, and the Automotive Industry Action Group have announced plans to operate side-by-side conferences at the upcoming Quality Expo Detroit show. The conference will be held June 7-8 at the new Red Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, Michigan. The Quality Expo Detroit show will include hands-on access to a comprehensive array of the latest inspection, test and measurement equipment, and software and services from more than 200 top suppliers. There will also be an expanded technical conference with workshops and sessions covering quality-management systems, advanced quality tools, quality fundamentals and benchmark research.

Simultaneously with the Quality Expo Detroit show, AIAG will host its first-ever Best Practices Summit, which will feature three session tracks: product-lifecycle management, quality and the Global Metrology Congress. The Global Metrology Congress will include a panel discussion with representatives from NIST, Ford Motor Co., DaimlerChrysler AG and General Motors Corp. Best Practices Summit attendees will have complimentary access to the Quality Expo Detroit exhibition hall and all special events.
