Second Annual Electronic and Conductive Inks Conference Highlights Latest Technologies, Applications

Speakers from leading companies and universities will be discussing the growing field of flexible electronics and conductive inks during the Second Annual Electronic and Conductive Inks Conference, set for Oct. 17-18 at The Drake Hotel in Oakbrook, IL, near Chicago.
 
The potential applications for the flexible and printed electronics industry appear to be virtually endless, and electronic and conductive inks are essential to this fast-growing technology. The talks with center on the different technologies, including silver and copper to carbon nanotubes and more; how equipment manufacturers are deploying these inks; and what the end-use customer is seeking.
 
Among the highlights will be the Keynote talk by Dr. Erika Rebrosova, Electronic Materials technology manager, Sun Chemical, Advanced Materials Group, as well as presentations by Dr. Vijaya Kayastha, Lead Device Development engineer, Brewer Science, Inc.; Casey Grenier, Ph.D., material scientist, R&D division of Tekscan, Inc.; and Dr. Stefanie Harvey, R&D program manager, SEMI, all of whom will discuss sensors and the use of conductive inks.
 
Conductive ink and material specialists also offering their insights include Bill Babe, sales and marketing manager, Liquid X Printed Metals; Dene H. Taylor, Ph.D., president, SPF-Inc.; Chris Booher, chief marketing officer for ChemCubed; and Oshadha Ranasingha, research assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell. 
 
Among the other presenters are George Fuchs, director of Regulatory Affairs and Technology for NAPIM and David Savastano, editor, Ink World and Printed Electronics Now.
 
Estimated at $2.5 billion in annual sales, electronic and conductive inks and materials are found in a wide range of flexible and printed electronics applications, from sensors, wearables and smart packaging to photovoltaics and more. Major brands such as Ralph Lauren, L’Oreal and Audi, to name a few, are successfully incorporating electronic and conductive inks into their products.
 
The potential applications for the flexible and printed electronics industry appear to be virtually endless, and electronic and conductive inks are essential to this fast-growing technology.
 
Electronic and Conductive Ink will be sponsored by the National Association of Printing Ink Manufacturers (NAPIM) and Rodman Media, which produces Ink World and Printed Electronics Now. The conference will feature experts in the field of electronic and conductive inks, as well as allied fields such as equipment, researchers and end-users. Join us to learn about the opportunities ahead for electronic and conductive inks.
