The GAC is an
acronym for the Global Automotive Conference. It was developed to
provide a unique opportunity for middle management of automotive
assemblers, suppliers, and service providers to network, while learning
key skills and emerging strategies of the future needed to survive
in today's dynamic global environment. In addition, it creates an
added value to the whole community, from students implementing what
they have learned to faculty implementing what they have taught,
into an interactive environment. GAC is an annual event that started
in March 2000. It is organized in Bowling Green, Kentucky, which
is in the heart of the US automotive corridor. Kentucky has the
privilege of being the site for three world-class automotive assembly
facilities in: Ford, General Motors, and Toyota. It is estimated
that 62 automobile and truck assembly plants lie within next day
delivery of Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The GAC is administered
by the Western Kentucky University Office of Global Business
(OGB).
