At the SID/DSCC Investors Conference During SID DisplayWeek 2019 Thirteen CEOs will be discussing game-changing display innovations. Organiser Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) has announced the agenda, speakers and panelists for the annual Society for Information Display (SID) Week 2019 Investor Conference. Organized by DSCC for the second consecutive year, the SID/DSCC Investors Conference is the display industry's window on private companies bringing revolutionary innovations to the display industry. This event also represents an excellent opportunity for traditional venture capitalists, strategic venture capitalists, private equity firms, angel investors and investment bankers to see a large selection of privately held display-related businesses in a single setting and learn which companies represent the best investment opportunity.
The Investor Conference is part of the 56th International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, known as Display Week 2019, May 12-17 at the McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, CA. This year's event will provide insight into new display technologies which are poised to break out as well as highlighting the capabilities of privately held display companies some of which have already attracted significant strategic investments from BOE, Google, LG, Samsung and others.
"The annual SID Investor Conference will feature presentations from some of the leading innovators in the industry," according to SID/DSCC Investor Conference Chair and DSCC CEO Ross Young. "With DisplayWeek returning to Silicon Valley, we are expecting a great showing from investors this year, and we have some of the most exciting private companies in the industry presenting. Our speakers will cover the most inventive developments in the next wave of display innovation, from OLED materials and quantum dots, to MicroLEDs and new reflective display technologies, and in each case the company CEO will be making the case for an attractive investment opportunity."
The Investor Conference will start with an Analyst Session to give an overview of major trends in the industry, featuring presentations by analysts from DSCC, IHS Markit and Citi Research. The agenda also includes a special panel session featuring venture capital and investment banking executives from Applied Ventures, LG Tech Ventures, M Ventures and Tandem Launch.
