The inaugural US edition of The Inkjet Conference (TheICJ), to be held in Chicago on April 12-13, 2018, is expected to host over 300 attendees including OEMs, suppliers, developers, engineers, chemists, researchers and brand owners. The event will bring a mix of technical and educational presentations and networking opportunities to America.

TheIJC has been developed by the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA) and Digital Direct Technologies in partnership with drupa, the number 1 worldwide exhibition for printing technologies. The first European edition was launched in 2014 and since then the conference has experienced a continuous growth in both individual attendees and the number of companies who come to learn and network about the advances in industrial inkjet.

“TheIJC had to build its reputation but it proved very quickly that the ‘platform’ concept worked very well – it combined the networking arena populated by exhibitor tabletops with two presentation tracks. The number of exhibitors and delegates has grown over the years and the current European edition will feature 3 presentation tracks and 80 exhibitor stands. Now approaching 500 participants, we are prepared for the expansion of the concept. They key strength of the conference remains the education about all aspects of inkjet technology combined with excellent networking and business opportunities,” said Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA.

Attendees to TheIJC US can expect expert presentations – from both industry and academia – that explore how inkjet technology affects the manufacturing processes of today and tomorrow.

“For inkjet engineering and inkjet chemistry, it is TheIJC,” said Steve Knight, co-founder of TheIJC. “We aim to broaden the understanding of the wide range of topics that make up inkjet and our guidelines to exhibitors are to cover a technical topic to an audience of a different technical or scientific background. We will hear about the latest printhead developments, about ink components and finished ink, lab equipment for measurement and analysis, curing and drying systems, software electronics and integration, vision systems for inspection and verification of digitally printed images.”

Over 20 companies including ColorGATE, Crown Van Gelder, Digital Direct Technologies, Fujifilm Inkjet Technology, Global Graphics Software and Global Inkjet Systems among others, have already booked a presentation slot and a stand in the conference networking arena. (KD)
