"SID is excited to be working with IMS Conferences to develop and present our first-ever Market Focus Conference Series," said Paul Drzaic, SID President. "Conference attendees and exhibitors have traditionally relied on SID to provide the most up-to-date information on technology innovations and emerging applications in important areas like these. Our new connection with IMS, and the introduction of full-day Market Focus Conferences, will deliver complementary market insights and analyses in a truly exciting way. There is no better venue than that of SID's Display Week to access both the technical and market information we'll be delivering in these red-hot areas."
According to Ross Young, IMS Research's senior vice president of displays, "We are pleased to be working with SID on their new Market Focus Conference Series. We feel this type of event will complement their outstanding technical sessions and exhibits, and lead to a more well-rounded experience for their attendees."
The Market Focus Conference Series balances out an already information-rich Symposium planned for Display Week. In fact, the Symposium portion will feature a number of sessions dedicated to some of these very same compelling technology topics--guaranteeing that attendees will have access to the most comprehensive level of information available on the market, making Display Week a one-stop-shop for all things displays. Specifically, the Market Focus Conference Series agenda includes:
TV 3.0 - The Future of TVs (May 26 and 27)
This two-day event will cover the rapidly changing TV market emphasizing 3D content and hardware, Internet content delivery, how 3D and internet TVs will be merchandised in retail, LED TVs, OLEDs, and other display and non-display advances. The entire TV supply chain is expected to be represented on the agenda and in the audience, including service providers, content developers, retailers, brands, OEMs, panel suppliers, and other materials and components manufacturers.
The Future of Lighting and Backlighting (May 26)
This event will focus on the rapidly evolving requirements and opportunities for LEDs and OLEDs in the general lighting and backlighting markets. It will feature presentations and data from experts throughout the LED supply chain as well as OLED developers, lighting and display companies, and market and financial analysts.
The Future of Touch and Interactivity (May 27)
This event will examine the market development issues, evolving technical requirements and opportunities for touch and interactive developers in the mobile, PC, TV, signage and other markets. Presenters are expected to include developers and buyers of touch screens and interactive solutions as well as companies representing the entire touch supply chain.
