The Society for Information Display's annual Symposium at Display Week running from June 1-6, 2014, offers a wide selection of
presentations on display technology that simply cannot be found anywhere else. This year's program
will consist of technical tracks of over 70 technical sessions
consisting of nearly 400 oral and poster presentations.
SID International Symposium
The four-day Symposium features hundreds of leading display industry papers from around the world in multiple technical sessions. It includes a Plenary Session, presentations in parallel sessions, a Poster
Session organized around selected topics, and author interview sessions each afternoon (with
demonstration models).
Sunday Short Courses
The Society for Information Display presents four 4-hour short courses on diverse topics related to
information display on Sunday, June 1. The tutorials are characterized by technical depth and small class
size. The four hour classes covering the fundamentals of electronic information displays will be held on
the morning and afternoon of the Sunday preceding the Symposium. Full color tutorial notes will be
distributed to all participants and are included in the fee. Ample time will be provided for questions
from the audience. The speakers are leaders in their respective fields and bring an international
perspective to information display.
Monday Display Technology Seminars
The SID Technology Seminars present lectures on diverse topics related to electronic information
displays. These seminars are tutorial in nature, and an attempt is made to provide information at three
levels. First and foremost, the technical foundations of the topic are treated in detail. Next, recent
technical advances are discussed, and, finally, the current state of the art and projection of future
trends are analyzed. The Applications Seminars focus on the application and evaluation of information
displays.
These seminars can benefit both newcomers and experienced professionals. Engineers new to assignments in
information display find them especially helpful in getting up to speed quickly. Experienced
professionals attend to keep up with recent developments in fields closely related to their specialties.
Managers attending the seminars obtain a broad perspective of the display field and a sense of its recent
dynamics. Attendees will receive an excellent set of full color notes, consisting of the
instructor’s
presentation slides, replete with references and illustrations. Ample time is provided for questions from
the audience in each session. The speakers are leaders in their fields who bring an international
perspective to information display.

The SID exhibition of display components and systems is your opportunity to see the latest innovative products from the leading companies in the information display industry. The Exhibition opens on Tuesday at 10:30 and concludes at 2:00 pm on Thursday. Many of the leaders and innovators in the display industry will be represented.
Exhibitors’ Forum
