Welcome

Welcome to the third edition of Inside Display Week 2016, your source for all the latest and greatest news about the industry’s most innovative and exciting annual event. With Display Week 2016 right around the corner (May 22-27 in San Francisco), it’s the perfect opportunity to let you know about all the exciting new features this year’s event holds. For the first time, we’re hosting a CMO Forum discussion, with five leading industry experts, that focuses specifically on the marketing challenges and trends unique to

display technology. This special event complements our well-known forums, which provide valuable insights and the latest information about all aspects of the field, including the Business Conference, Investors Conference, the Wearable-Flexible Conference and the Touch Conference.

We’re also excited to debut the New Product Showcase, where all exhibitors have been invited to share their hottest products in a dedicated space to give you a sneak-peek at what’s in store at their individual booths.

Of course, we’ll also have all the dynamic features you’ve come to expect from the world’s leading exhibition in display technology, like our four-day technical symposium - where recognized luminaries will discuss developments and trends in augmented and virtual reality, digital-signage display solutions, lighting, TFTs and display circuits on flexible substrates, vehicle displays and user-interface technology trends, and wearable displays. And this year’s exclusive networking events will take you to the California Academy of Sciences where you can meet with peers and colleagues in an awesome setting that includes a towering T.rex.

Additionally, this issue highlights our keynote speaker lineup, featuring industry pioneers from Samsung, Japan Display (JDI), Microsoft, and the recipients of our annual, prestigious Honors and Awards.

Topping it all off is this year’s beautiful locale, San Francisco – which is not only a pinnacle of the California experience but is right next door to Silicon Valley, a global technology hub and home to some of the world’s most innovative technology companies.

This year’s Display Week will be one of the most exciting ever, so make sure you register today and take advantage of the Early Bird Discount. We look forward to seeing you there!
