Display Supply Chain Consultants Lands SID Contract for Second Straight Year

Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) for the second straight year landed the contract from the Society for Information Display (SID) to produce the suite of “business track” conferences at the Display Week 2018 show, the consulting firm said in a Thursday announcement. Several changes are planned for the 2018 event, including a stronger emphasis at the SID Business Conference on executive “roundtables,” it said. The “market focus” conference on automotive displays will delve more deeply into “the impact of autonomous vehicles on the display market,” it said. “Semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles are likely to boost displays per vehicle and significantly expand the automotive display market.” DSCC was launched last year by former DisplaySearch CEO-founder Ross Young and Bob O’Brien, ex-director-marketing intelligence at Corning Glass Technologies (see 1606150021). DisplayWeek 2018 opens May 20 at the Los Angeles Convention Center for a six-day run.
