The Flex Conference will be held February 2-5, 2009 at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. This conference has evolved to become the leading North American event for the projected high growth market of flexible and printed electronics. The 2008 conference attracted 400 executives, managers, engineers, educators and scientists from around the world with over 70 presentations that provided insights into business strategies, projections and substantive technology overviews. Another key reason for the growth of the Flex Conference is the variety of opportunities to network and dialogue with current and potential colleagues throughout the event.
In 2009, the conference will include four technical tracks: 1) Business, Markets, Applied and Developmental Research; 2) Fundamental Research; 3) Late Breaking Results (poster-presentations); and 4) Student Research Posters, with a competition for best posters.
NEW to the Conference
Making its debut on Monday, February 2nd is a Business & Investment Summit. The markets for printed electronics are emerging, and while growing quickly, still relatively small. In order to grow volume and get products on the market that meet the cost and performance expectations of customers, companies need to better understand the value of investing in flexible and printed electronics innovation and the scope of products these technologies enable. The Summit will kick off Flex Week with the theme of "Bridging the Information Gap". This summit is aimed at connecting innovators and manufacturers of flexible, printed electronics and displays with investors and consumer product developers in an effort to foster a stronger ecosystem in the burgeoning markets.
Also on Monday, February 2nd, the conference will feature six, three hours short courses. Courses will focus on the emerging field of flexible, printed electronics manufacturing including photovoltaics, solid state lighting, OLEDs, RFID, sensors, and flexible display applications. Three courses will be given in the morning session and three in the afternoon. Courses will be taught by an individual, a team, or in collaboration with more than one group or organization.
