Long Beach, California, 4 June 2007 – OIDA’s Director of Government Programs Dr. Marko M. G. Slusarczuk was named to chair next years Business Conference at the Society for Information Displays SID 2008 Conference. As Program Manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) he managed the flat panel display program for which he reviewed hundreds of proposals and companies. Since that time, he has been heavily involved in the display industry in positions with Candescent Technologies, CLCEO, and the World Technology Evaluation Center. On May 21, 2007, at its annual meeting in Long Beach, SID presented Dr. Slusarczuk with a Special Recognition Award “For his leadership in creating and managing the DARPA high definition-display program, which advanced a wide range of display technologies, including active-matrix liquid-crystal, plasma and projection displays and for developing innovative equipment to commercially manufacture these displays.”
The SID Business Conference, which will be presented for the sixth consecutive year in 2008, continues to be one of the most important components of Display Week. In the five years since the Business Conference debuted in 2003, the worldwide display market has increased almost 70%, and in 2007, is expected to exceed $100 billion for the first time, by OIDA estimates. As the display industry continues to grow, the SID Business Conference is the preeminent forum for exploring how this dynamic business has reached its current state, and where it will go from here.
