Display Week returns to Silicon Valley in 2019, with six days of technical programming (May 12-17) and three days of exhibition (May 14-16), at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in sunny California. Due to its proximity to major tech companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook, among others, the annual show from the Society for Information Display (SID) will attract numerous area tech workers from all parts of the value chain. We know from past shows that the foot traffic in San Jose will be brisk and the attendees highly qualified. In addition, San Jose offers amenities such as complimentary high-speed WiFi (courtesy of the city of San Jose) in the convention center and throughout most of the city, as well as a host of cultural and recreational activities for those times you're not on the show floor. 

Exhibit space is selling fast this year! It's not too late to increase your space or add a meeting room. With six months left before the show, 87 percent of the floor is already sold, and only 4 meeting rooms remain. Take a look at the live floor plan to view the remaining space and to see who has recently joined the show. If more space is not what you need, but you'd still like to see more traffic in your booth, don't forget to check out all the sponsorship and promotion
opportunities we have this year in San Jose.

Last year's event featured more than 250 exhibitors, including those in the emerging technology area, the I-Zone. Check out this video for a taste of what Display Week 2018 was like. We have lots of exciting programs for Display Week exhibitors and attendees this year - returning favorites such as Women in Tech, the CEO Forum, Poster Presentations, Coffee Breaks, and the Exhibitors' Forum (which we will be highlighting this year) -- and new events as well. What you'll read about below is just the beginning.

We are pleased to announce that the general chair for Display Week 2019 is Rashmi Rao of Harman. Rao is well known for her work in automotive displays, the connected car, and the overall automotive user experience at Harman/Samsung. Under her direction, Display Week 2019 will be more up to date and exciting than ever. Keep in touch with her at [email protected], linkedin.com/in/rashmirao, or @rashmitweets.

Last year, Display Week initiated a student job fair that was so successful, we've expanded it to include the entire range of display professionals - from those looking for entry-level jobs to those seeking senior positions.

The Student Job Fair at Display Week 2018 (above) was so successful that the event is being
expanded for 2019.

The Display Week 2019 Job Fair will be held on Wednesday, May 15, from 8:30 am until 3 pm in a designated room in the conference center. If your company is interested in participating in the job fair to meet with prospective hires, email    Shrilaxmi Holla  at SID headquarters. Participation is on a first come, first-served basis.

We have an all-new interface this year - automated processes and a secured site from A2Z that will make exhibiting at Display Week much easier.
