CAMPBELL, Calif., April 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Taking precautionary measures in light of COVID-19, the Society for Information Display (SID) has rescheduled the 57th International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, known internationally as Display Week 2020, to August 2-7, 2020, at the San Jose Convention Center. The event was previously scheduled for June 7-12 in San Francisco.
"COVID-19 has had an unprecedented, unanticipated effect on all of our lives and on worldwide business," said Dr. Helge Seetzen, president of SID. "We've rescheduled Display Week 2020 to help protect the health of our staff, exhibitors, attendees, and our global community; and to allow time for business operations to return to more normal functioning."
Despite being rescheduled and relocated, Display Week 2020 will still take place in Silicon Valley, an epicenter of creativity, innovation and new technologies.
"We look forward to returning to San Jose, where last year Display Week 2019 provided an extraordinary experience for the entire ecosystem of the electronic display industry," Seetzen added.
"Additionally, I'm excited to share that we're unveiling new digital components for this important global gathering to adapt to our ever-changing environment and encourage wider participation both domestically and internationally," he said.
The annual event promises to bring together the brightest minds worldwide in the display industry, providing insight into new display technologies in development, as well as affording a sneak peek at new products that will be hitting the shelves both in the US and internationally within the next few years.
Details about programming, exhibitors, speakers, educational sessions and other facets of the event will be forthcoming. The program will feature a significant online component to allow global participation if travel restrictions persist.
