XPONENTIAL 2022 Sandbox Submission

To encourage additional learning opportunities on the show floor and create greater collaboration among attendees, the Sandbox will be positioned to industry leaders, researchers, and academic institutions as a space for problem-solving and exploration. Engineers, research specialists, solution providers, university students, research assistants, professors, and others are invited to participate by reserving space in the Sandbox for a specific date/time during the show. During this time, participants will host the space and share their problem/research/discussion topic with conference attendees, industry leaders, and other learners who join them in the Sandbox. The goal is to use the XPO community to problem-solve, collaborate, and seek solutions in the field of autonomous systems.
