Conference Agenda
This is the complete agenda for both BOTH Printed Electronics and Photovoltaics events. Conference delegates have access to all the presentations.
End-User Printed Electronics Forum
This forum is dedicated to companies that have an interest in understanding how printed electronics can be used in their businesses. It assumes no or limited knowledge of the technology. Speakers will feature many case studies of printed electronics in action - what was done, costs and benefits to the company. It will highlight new emerging products and how, as a potential user, you should proceed in assessing printed electronics for your products. In addition, the session will feature a panel of end-users where you can ask them your questions and learn about their needs or experiences with the technology.
