SAE's Marc LeDuc shares the value of event publishing
Marc LeDuc has two teenage sons-new
drivers on the road. He's determined that
minimum safety systems are standard
across the vehicles they drive.
As SAE International's content
development manager for engineering
events, LeDuc asked himself what he could
do to make the next generation of vehicles
the safest. He then applied that ambition to
his role.
Through his work, LeDuc looks across the
entirety of the mobility spectrum to
determine where technology is advancing
and develops engineering conferences with
programming designed to help
professionals problem solve tomorrow's
technical issues today. His job would not be
possible without the contributions of
volunteers, people who share their time
and talent by publishing with SAE and
joining event organizing committees. SAE is
at the forefront of mobility advancement,
and these contributors impact the future
direction of technology and mobility.
Publishing with SAE can open the door to
new opportunities, such as speaking at
SAE's engineering events.
" It's a chance to not only educate, but be
educated, " he said. " You get feedback from
an audience of other subject-matter
experts to then continue to advance your
own thinking, but also advance the thinking
of the industry. "
LeDuc sees great value in the opportunity
to showcase your thought leadership

individually and on your organization's
behalf through publishing. As a bonus,
SAE's engineering events offer the critical
exchange of knowledge and opportunity to
defend your technical paper that other
publishers can't offer.
" If we're going to advance society to
drive safer vehicles or lower carbon
vehicles and you have the subject-matter
expertise and the ability to do it, [ask
yourself] if not you, then who? " he said.
By publishing with SAE, you can help
LeDuc make sure we all get home safe. n
