Ford SYNC AppLinks Global Product Manager to Keynote DASH Conference. Ford's SYNC system has been at the forefront of the connected car since its introduction in 2007, when smartphones were still in their infancy. Over the last six years, Ford has continued to develop cutting-edge in-car technology enhancements that will keep customers on the leading edge of in-car entertainment and services.
Find out where Ford is driving the connected car next, when Radio Ink, Jacobs Media and Shuman Consulting Group welcome Julius Marchwiki, global product manager for Ford Motor Co.'s SYNC AppLink, who will deliver a keynote address at DASH, the connected car conference set for October 23-34 at the Westin Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Radio Ink Publisher Eric Rhoads says, "It's a great signal that Ford is coming to the table to participate in DASH. It shows their commitment to radio. Julius is one of the most respected leaders in the connected-car space and will open your eyes about technology trends that will impact our business."
Fred Jacobs, president of Jacobs Media, notes, "No one has been at the forefront of Ford?s Sync program more than Julius Marchwiki. He was the very first person we met at CES back in 2010, and he has played an integral role in Sync's development and Ford's ability to personalize its vehicles through technology. He is the quintessential leader in the space, and his presence and perspective are what DASH is all about."
