ODETTE International organises an annual event dedicated to bringing together, in a single forum, hundreds of Automotive Industry executives to discuss the latest B2B strategies and trends in Communications, Logistics management and Engineering product data exchange. Every year, more than 500 industry participants benefit from this unique networking opportunity. Have a look at our Events section for the latest information.

Why is the organisation called ODETTE?
ODETTE originally stood for 'Organisation for Data Exchange by Tele-Transmission in Europe'. This acronym was created to reflect the original purpose for which ODETTE was created in 1984. However, ODETTE is a dynamic organisation and has constantly evolved to meet the changing needs of its members for supply chain standardisation and the current scope no longer corresponds to the acronym.
