At Sense Media, we’re changing the way our customers reach and engage with their audience.

Our conferences are the flagships of our presence in the market, and our activity extends deeply via online training and workshops, virtual panel sessions, support of technical working groups and more.

As the world’s first events dedicated to bringing the organisations and experts in autonomous vehicle sensor technology together, we have built strong relationships with organisations of all shapes and sizes, across this very specialised sector.

We now have two event series; AutoSens, focusing on exterior perception and the sensor stacks being developed for ADAS and autonomous vehicles, and, InCabin, focusing on the interior sensing and other technologies making up an intelligent automotive interior.
