IDTechEx are delighted to announce today that Printed Electronics USA conference and exhibition in San Francisco, November 14-15 is now the World's largest event on the topic by many parameters. With 3 weeks to the show there over 45 confirmed exhibitors and more than 400 registered delegates. The targeted figure of 500 delegates on the day is likely to be smashed.
Record attendance has been achieved by featuring world first presentations, such as from Kovio, and by focusing on the application of printed electronics, with presentations from companies such as Hasbro and Cubic Transportation Systems that have not presented on such activities before. It comes as no surprise then that delegates include potential users such as Procter & Gamble, Lockheed Martin, BP, Coors Brewing and Crayola.
New for 2007 will be the "Printed Electronics Products" demonstration area, designed to show the huge range of products which are already in the market place. These will include everything from printed displays used already in commercial advertisement posters to commercial e-paper readers from Sony to cosmetic skin patches from Estee Lauder - all powered today by printed electronics. Delegates will be able to see what products are already in the market and how developers have achieved success - often by creating new markets.
Investment in this sector is rife - with photovoltaics beyond conventional silicon alone accounting for up to 20% of all recent VC investments in the electronics industry. The optional Printed Electronics Investment Summit pre-conference meeting on Monday 13 November features 15 companies CEO's - the crème de la crème of pure play printed electronics companies seeking investment hand picked by IDTechEx - in an open forum with serious Venture Capitalists and other strategic investors.
Of course deep technology analysis is given including the big picture - printed and potentially printed organics and inorganics and not the narrow world of just organics/plastic electronics. For example, significant challenges include improving the yield of printed transistors and devices.
This conference addresses topics such as cutting edge developments with inspection systems for Thin Film Transistor Circuits - a necessary yet rarely addressed challenge. Other important topics include precious material supply challenges.
The event is purposely held in San Francisco to ensure accessibility to many companies and universities working on the topic who delegates can meet through hosted tours.
All delegates receive IDTechEx research for free, including the 110 page Encyclopedia of Printed Electronics with over 380 terms and beautifully illustrated throughout. Registered delegates are already networking now using the IDTechEx online networking system allowing them to contact each other straight away
