I used to do a lot of talking to new clients, partners, speakers and otherwise about AutoSens, but my job these days is less customer-facing, so I don’t get to talk about it so much.
That said, as the team grows, we have spent more time recently to focus on how we talk about the conferences, the engineering community and everything that makes AutoSens so special, and it’s been a good opportunity to revisit these unique values, and the reasons I believe AutoSens has built such a strong following over the last 9 years.
It’s important both internally to ensure that all of the Sense Media team have a good understanding of what makes us tick, because only by understanding and embracing those values can they communicate that to others via their work. And it’s important externally, as defining these values and strengths is what will help us to continue to grow this community and bring even more value back to you.
So, what makes AutoSens unique?
- Cut through the hype – unlike other events where you can pay to speak, our agenda is curated by our Advisory Board, and content is selected for its technical merits only.
- By engineers, for engineers – focus on the solutions for today, as well as tomorrow. Our events are designed to bring value back into the business immediately for people who attend.
- Balancing science and business – while placing a high value on technical content, AutoSens is also a place to do business, we bring the perfect mix of engineers and executives so new deals can be forged as well as increasing your knowledge.
- Family values of friendship – we are a small business driven by customer satisfaction, not profits. We build valuable relationships and genuinely care about helping our community thrive in their work and business.
- Hands on – we recognize the value of getting hands-on, and give every opportunity to engage in an active learning environment such as this. Car demos, sensor demos, seeing hardware in action all bring added value on top of the conference presentations and networking.
- Experts among experts – we actively build a community of the world’s leading technical experts, people who are open and collaborative, so the value attendees get from our networking sessions is second to none.
Finally, we have built a diverse team of like-minded people at Sense Media. Our company values of ethics, fairness, putting quality before profit, and all of this feeds into how we work with clients, and host our community onsite. I’m very proud of the culture we have created, and the feedback we get regularly backs up this ethos.
If you want to learn things that will help you in your job, talk with experts and innovators, understand the wider business context of your work, and grow your network, AutoSens is the right place for you.
