Active RFID & Real Time Locating Systems

Printed electronics technology has moved swiftly from the laboratory to real-life applications. This conference looks at the first generation products of the past few years, investigates present developments, and explores the potential for second generation applications and beyond.
 
The advent of low-cost disposable technologies provides opportunities to develop products that will change our lives, not simply adding novelty features, but improving the user interface to provide products that are more intuitive, safer and fun to use.
 
Whether it's flexible displays, electronic inks, organic electronics, low-cost laminar batteries, sensors, or circuits - over the course of our conference we will update you on the current status of the fast-moving world of printed electronic technologies, and explore future applications.
 
The presenters at this conference are from leading companies at the forefront of technology development, as well as end-user brand owners - companies looking to enhance and protect their brands in future.
