IMI is pleased to announce two very timely and exciting programs being held at the Arizona Golf Resort Hotel & Conference Center, Mesa, Arizona in May (Visit www.imiconf.com for additional information and registration details)

18th Annual Thermal Printing Conference
May 21-23, 2007

1st RFID Technology Integration Symposium
May 23-24, 2007

IMI’s 18th Annual Thermal Printing Conference will focus on insights into the opportunities and challenges of exploiting world markets and capitalizing on the many new and exciting information, communications and media related innovations. In spite of advancements in competing technologies such as ink jet, the continued growth and proliferation of kiosk applications, digital photo printing and tag/ticket/label applications continue to fit the inherent strengths offered by thermal printing in simplicity, reliability and specialization.

Manufacturers wishing to introduce new product and technology advances, media suppliers looking for new application opportunities and businesses or agencies wishing to provide technical and management staff with an in depth overview and update of thermal printing from both application, market and technology perspectives can benefit from the information exchange this unique conference offers.

IMI’s 1st RFID Technology Integration Symposium will bring together leading experts in all aspects of RFID technology, the various components and subsystems required to develop successful RFID applications.

Utilization of RFID technology is receiving unprecedented attention from all corporate sectors: manufacturing, distribution, retail, transportation, military/government, service, etc. and is rapidly developing beyond the originally mandated supply chain applications.

The development of RFID technology into useful programs for such a wide array of applications requires the skills of many varied disciplines as well as the successful integration of the basic RFID technology with the process and management operations and functions of the participating organizations.

Sessions will address the basic RFID system components, the integration process and analysis of successful RFID applications.  

We are working to complete the final speaker selections for IMI’s 17th Annual Thermal Printing Conference and 1st RFID Technology Integration Symposium by March 26th.  IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR SPECIFIC TOPICS AND/OR SPEAKERS OR IF YOU WISH TO SUBMIT A PROPOSED PRESENTATION TITLE AND OUTLINE; PLEASE EMAIL imi@imiconf.com FAX (+1-207-235-2226) OR CALL (+1-207-235-2225) WITH YOUR INPUTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  Proposed presentations should be for a 45 minute non-commercial presentation.

We encourage you to forward this email to interested colleagues and contacts and inform your associates of these unique annual programs or notify us of any industry contacts you think should be aware of these programs.

Please feel free to email, fax or call me if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or to discuss any aspect of these programs or other IMI activities.

We hope to see you or a colleague at IMI’s 17th Annual Thermal Printing Conference and/or 1st RFID Technology Integration Symposium in May.
