EDITORIAL
Enduring the demise of real, live networking
“You know what’s hurting the auto in-
dustry the most this year?” asked a
Tier-1 engineer friend who called me
one afternoon.
Hmmm, what could that be beyond
the impact of a global pandemic, I
thought? Perhaps the various disrup-
tions that were already screwing up my
productivity at home that day. My three
dogs barking during a business call.
Connectivity issues with the home rout-
er. UPS guy at the door. Daughter can’t
find her key to the family car. Oh, the
joys of working at home.
“What’s hurting our in-
dustry badly is the disap-
pearance of
networking,”
came my friend’s reply.
“Think about the knowledge,
insider tidbits, even rumors
we’ve missed this year be-
cause all the industry events
were cancelled. Global auto
shows and trade shows.
Technical conferences in-
cluding the specialized SAE
stuff. I feel like we’re all ships
cast adrift without the physi-
cal, face-to-face interaction
that gives every industry its
professional cohesion.”
He’s correct, of course. One of the
primary reasons professionals pay big
money to attend conferences and
shows is for the vital personal engage-
ments they afford. Coffee breaks in the
daily program, cocktail receptions, “VIP
meetups,” and simply running into
speakers, presenters and the usual busi-
ness contacts in the hallways or waiting
for the shuttle. All are important.
Personal encounters make impressions
and spark relationships and future busi-
ness. For entrepreneurs, key engage-
ments can mean the difference between
an open door and a dead end.
As a university professor of materials
science related to me recently, “Fresh
out of college, I once attended a techni-
cal symposium out of state, on my own
dime, driving my 20-year-old car, on the

off-chance that I’d run into an engineer
who’d read some of my research work. I
did, and he later hired me. That would
not have happened by phone or mail.”
The basic ritual of exchanging business
cards at a conference remains one of the
highest-value activities conducted among
humans in any industry. Since CES last
January – the only event I’ve attended in
2020 – I’ve distributed six cards.
As an editor and reporter, the disap-
pearance of direct-contact networking
has been equally frustrating. Technology
backgrounders that are our bread-and-
butter for gathering infor-
mation for you, the reader,
are now online. They’re
highly formatted and
“boxed’ for the efficiency of
the presenters. These Zoom
“events” have replaced the
traditional live product-de-
velopment presentations,
tech demos, vehicle drives
and the one-on-one and
group discussions with en-
gineers that Automotive
does to inform its media
ecosystem.
With access being key to
a well-reported article, the journalist’s
landscape has shrunk in the new “re-
mote” environment. At a live back-
grounder, we’d have opportunity to pull
program engineers aside and ask them
questions of a technical nature – ques-
tions that don’t interest the free-lunch
“lifestyle media.” Such questions are
best asked outside the earshot of seri-
ous competitors. Instead, online event
Q&A is an open forum, where no ques-
tion is private and those submitted in
writing are often filtered or bypassed.
While the move to online industry
and media communication is saving
companies a lot of money, I hope that
industry recognizes the value in return-
ing to live, in-person engagements
when it’s safe and prudent to do so.
