Green Display Expo Final Program Available

The FINAL PROGRAM for the Green Display Expo scheduled for October 27th, Washington, DC, is shown below. This one-day event will be held at the L’Enfant Plaza Hotel, Washington DC. The conference is the first to focus on the growing importance of a green display strategy that incorporates technology, policy, regulatory and business elements.

“One of the key questions that many in the industry want to understand is the business case for going green,” noted Insight Media President, Chris Chinnock. “Can CE companies and suppliers be more profitable by embracing green policies? Can this approach lower manufacturing and distribution costs, comply with regulatory trends, lower power consumption and carbon footprints, and offer efficient recycling – and increase profits at companies? Is this a smart way to improve your brand and image with consumers AND increase sales? The assembled speakers should help to answers these and many other questions,” said Chinnock.

Key issues to be addressed at Green Display Expo include:

Worldwide consumer and professional display regulations and policy
Corporate green strategies
Display technologies that lower power use, reduce carbon footprints or impact recycling/environmental issues
Recycling trends
Business, branding and marketing advantages of green
