The Canadian Printable Electronics Industry Association (CPEIA) has released the speaker lineup for CPES2017, Canada’s premier conference and trade show exhibition for printable, flexible and wearable electronics (PE).
With 30+ speakers and more than 200 participants from 120 organizations in attendance, CPES2017 is Canada’s meeting ground for technology developers, industrial companies and end-users to discuss how they can work together to manufacture and commercialize new products and applications.
Day 1 of the program features Key Applications, while Day 2 is dedicated to Manufacturing. The optional Day 3 offers master classes, a financing session and mentoring.
The conference runs from May 24-26 at Centennial College’s new Conference Centre in Toronto. Early bird registration ends March 3. Please visit the conference website to learn more and to register.
“I am proud to say that our ecosystem has grown considerably over the last year and many of this industry’s products are now reaching commercial production,” said Dr. Paul Smith, VP, Xerox Research Centre of Canada, and chairman of the CPEIA Board of Directors. “An outstanding network is forming under the auspices of the CPEIA, bringing together the key players in the Canadian and global supply chains.”
