Sensors Expo 2018: Sensor Expert To Chair All-Day Symposium | Sensors Magazine
Naples, FL –April 19, 2018— Roger Grace, President of Roger Grace Associates, the world’s leading marketing consultancy specializing in sensors and MEMS has organized and will chair a full-day technical symposium on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at the 33rd Annual Sensors Expo & Conference. The workshop will address Printed, Flexible, Stretchable (P/F/S) and Functional Fabric (FF) Sensors from an Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable applications perspective. Mr. Grace will be joined by 14 other world recognized leaders in the P/F/S and FF sensors and electronics area representing organizations from the who will present information on topics including currently available sensor products, current research and development activities, application opportunities and barriers to the commercialization of P/F/S and FF sensors and sensor-based systems. Mr. Grace will also make a presentation entitled, “Commercialization Opportunities for Printed/Flexible/Stretchable and Functional Fabric Sensors and Sensor-Based Systems for IoT (Internet of Things) and Wearables” which will address commercialization and monetization issues. The exhibition and technical conference will take place at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California from June 26-28, 2018.
Mr. Grace stated, “This all-day symposium continues to be a key and integral part of my “evangelization” of Printed, Flexible and Stretchable and most recently Functional Fabric sensors and sensor-based systems. It was developed to help inform and educate the technical, technical management, and business community of the major significance of these technologies and their enabled far-reaching opportunities in IoT and wearable applications from both a current and future perspective. Attendees will be provided with presentations from representatives of leading organizations representing the entire ecosystem of P/F/S and FF sensors, from research and development to manufacturing, who are in the forefront of bringing new and unique P/F/S and FF technologies to the market. Several speakers from leading research and development organizations and universities will address their efforts on device development and integration issues and future application opportunities. My presentation will address the current and future opportunities for P/F/S and FF sensors and the necessary requirements for them to become commercially viable. I will address barriers to the successful commercialization and strategies resulting in monetization of P/F/S and FF sensors strategies from perspectives including integration, infrastructure and manufacturing. We expect the attendee to leave the session with a good knowledge of where we have come from, where we are, where we’re going, and what they need to do to help create a more commercially viable P/F/S and FF sensor industry as well as where they can participate in exploiting current and future major application opportunities for P/F/S and FF sensors.” He concluded, “This Sensors Expo 2018 preconference symposium has, to the best of my knowledge, the most highly concentrated and expansive effort to date to exclusively address the topic of P/F/S and FF sensors.”
