On June 1 and June 2, 2022 CiA celebrated its 30th anniversary with an in-person meeting in Nuremberg (Germany).

The two-day event comprised four sessions with presentations as well as the regular annual CiA general assembly. A major part of the general assembly was the election of the CiA Board of Directors, the CiA Technical Committee, and the CiA Business Committee. Additionally, CiA groups took the opportunity to schedule first face-to-face meetings, after the Corona crisis. There were parallel meetings of the IG lower layers. The newly-elected CiA Business Committee pre-discussed the activity plan for 2023. Besides the official program, there was plenty of time for individual talks, exchanging experiences, as well as knowledge. Therefore, this was a good opportunity for CiA to strengthen CiA’s social network of CAN experts.
