CAMPBELL, Calif. and AUSTIN, Texas, May 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society for Information Display (SID), in collaboration with IMS Conferences, has announced the final agenda for the eBook & Tablet Market Evolution Conference at Display Week, which will be held May 15 – 20, 2011.  The event will take place on Thursday, May 19th at the Los Angeles Convention Center and is part of the second annual Market Focus Conference Series during Display Week.

Two of the fastest growing display markets are eReaders and Tablets with IMS Research forecasting 120% growth in eReaders in 2011 to 26.2M units; and 261% growth in tablets to 60.8M units. Together with SID, IMS Research has put together this comprehensive forum, which will delve into the future outlook, requirements and opportunities afforded by these burgeoning markets.

According to event chairman and IMS Research SVP Ross Young, "We have put together a strong agenda covering these rapidly growing markets.  We will hear from leading brands, display suppliers, 100% of the existing eReader frontplane market and analysts on all aspects of the eReader and tablet markets including, the latest results and projections; new innovations; how these segments are evolving and, if and when, they are likely to collide.  The event will also cover the status and prospects for emerging display technologies in these markets and where existing display performance is going. It will also explore how the publishing market is changing and how publishers and booksellers are evolving to capture the digital publishing opportunity. We believe this event offers an excellent opportunity for Display Week attendees to gather significant intelligence on these dynamic markets and meet with their customers and suppliers as well as industry leaders."

The agenda is as follows:

Morning Keynote:  The Past, Present and Future of Electronic Paper - Sri Peruvemba, Chief Marketing Officer, E Ink

Peruvemba is the ideal keynote for this event given E Ink's enabling role in developing the eReader market and his passion for this technology and market overall. E Ink had a 96% share of the Q4 '10 eReader frontplane market and a 78% share of the eReader display market, according to IMS Research's Quarterly eReader and Tablet Shipment and Forecast Report. E Ink has also been the display industry's most profitable supplier for the past five consecutive quarters.

Kno has developed innovative software enabling a better textbook experience on tablets. Speakers and topics include:

  • Future of eBooks and its Impact on the Publishing Industry - John Warren, Marketing Director, Publications, RAND Corporation
  • Textbooks for Tablets - Babur Habib, CTO and Founder, Kno
