SID 2001 Sells Record-breaking 500 Exhibit Booths

May 1, 2001 - A record-breaking 500 exhibit booths have been sold for the Society for Information Display's 32nd Annual Symposium, Seminar, and Exhibition (SID 2001). The symposium, recognized as the international display industry's leading event, will be held at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California from June 3 to 8, 2001. The exhibits run from June 5 to 7, and will be the largest show of displays (such as LCDs, CRTs, plasma displays, and OLEDs), display components, display manufacturing equipment, display test and measurement equipment, display controllers and electronics, backlights, display products and materials, software, services, and publications ever held in North America.

The 500 booths exceed last year's booth sales by more than 60, and represent essentially 100 percent of the show's capacity, although Palisades Convention Management (PCM), which manages the show for the Society for Information Display, can squeeze in a few additional booths and expects to do so, said PCM's Jay Morreale.

The seminars, which continue on Friday, are being taught by a distinguished group of instructors, including Terry Scheffer, Larry Weber, and Bob Meyers.

A rich multi-track menu of technical symposium papers, application sessions, roundtable discussions, and special events held from Tuesday June 5th to Thursday June 7th will provide all designers, manufacturers, marketers, integrators, and end users of displays with rewarding choices, whatever their technical interests. The technical sessions, containing 299 papers, will be anchored with 39 invited papers.
