On Thursday, June 23, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. SMSBF is hosting our second Member-Guest event of 2016. This event focuses on sustainability in the automotive industry. Attendees will have the chance to listen to engaging speakers discuss the future of the auto industry and the sustainable options available to it.
Because exceptional speakers are at the heart of SMSBF’s Member-Guest events, we’d like to take the time to fully introduce you to them.
