UM17 | Practical Information

​Social events @ UM17

​Along with listening to insightful speeches that will cast light on the future of engineering, UM17 attendees will have the chance to look back into the automotive history. 

After the packed morning agenda on October 24th, the afternoon schedule includes a guided tour to the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant museum. Built in 1904, it was the second center of automobile production for Ford Motor Company. The company assembled several car models at this factory, including the Ford Model T, which was first produced there starting in 1908.

A can't-miss event for all motor enthusiasts!
