**CANCELED: Envisioning The Future of the Global Auto Industry with Shai Agassi
As the U.S. auto industry undergoes dramatic restructuring and the global auto sector retools for the future, new technologies, players, and energy challenges are remaking one of the key drivers of the global economy. Just how the industry reinvents itself and what role the United States will play in the auto industry of the future remain unknown, yet the consequences of this change may greatly determine future economic growth.
NDN is pleased to announce that on Thursday, June 18, Shai Agassi, Founder and CEO of Better Place, a Palo Alto based electric car start-up, will lead a discussion at NDN on the future of the global auto industry. He will discuss Better Place's business, the potential of electric vehicles, and the future of the global auto industry.
Better Place's vision of what may be possible for automobiles is transformative, offering an electric car with unprecedented new services, including the ability of consumers to trade electricity with the electricity grid. He has been featured on the cover of Wired magazine, Rolling Stone magazine recently named Agassi one of the 100 People Changing America, and his company is active in Israel, Australia, Denmark, the United States, Canada, and Japan. Agassi last spoke to NDN at the Moment of Transformation conference, held in March 2008.

I watched this show on the live broadcasts and it made me think about a lot of things. I was at a car dealer Wayne shop at the time with my old car when this was aired and I said to myself: Eh, let's see what this guy is talking about! I do not regret one minute of it and Shai Agassi is good and decent man.

As Neil said before me Shai Agassi is a good and decent man and thanks to him and his speech I bought one of those Class B motorhomes and now I live on the road. I save more money with it and I can travel the through the country easy now. I recommend to all of you out there with a heighten adventure spirit to do the same as I did.
