For the first time, Honda will be the host company for the Society of Engineers World Congress in 2009. In keeping with the company's long-standing and competitive motorsports heritage, the theme of next year's event will be "Racing to Green Mobility." Honda themselves are preparing to present 50 technical papers at the Congress and the company will be encouraging other companies to get heavily involved with both presentations and booths as well. Bosch will be Honda's primary Tier 1 partner for the show. The World Congress is an annual gathering of automotive engineers from around the world (see our 2008 Congress coverage here). The event provides around 40,000 attendees the opportunity to share information on the latest technology advancements. The 2009 Congress is scheduled for April 20-23, 2009 in Detroit.
