Integration Technology and IST Organize the First U.S. Conference on UV LED Curing

August 1, 2012—This spring, Integration Technology, helped RadTech organize a two-and-a-half hour session on LED curing for their Chicago conference and exhibition. “It was one of the most successful sessions we had—with standing room only” says Gary Cohen, executive director for RadTech. “There seems to be a thirst for information about UV LEDs from nearly anyone involved in UV curing.”

In response to that demand, UV LEDs are returning to Chicago with a one-day symposium organized by Integration Technology, and IST America and dedicated entirely to UV LED curing. The event, scheduled for Wednesday, September 26, 2012 will be held at the Riverway Auditorium in Rosemont, IL just minutes from O’Hare airport.

The roster of speakers includes experts from ITL and IST and a dozen of their industry partners with presentations focused on UV LED light sources, formulation of coatings, inks and adhesives, raw materials, UV LED measurement, system integration, market applications and an economic analysis of UV LEDs. “An attendee, whether they are new to UV curing, or a veteran of the technology should walk away with a comprehensive understanding of the state-of-the-art in this fast growing technology” says Joe Ooten, vice president of sales and marketing for IST America.

For a small fee ($95 USD), attendees will be able to attend a dozen technical presentations and expert panel discussions. Admission includes a luncheon, and a networking cocktail reception that includes a tabletop exhibition with hands-on demonstrations and samples of UV LED cured commercial products.

“The time is right for this kind of dedicated conference” says Jennifer Heathcote, Integration Technology’s US General Manager. “The demand for information is high, and the growing list of successful applications gives us a lot to discuss. As leader in UV technology, this symposium demonstrates our commitment to the market, and to creating a more informed group of partners and end users."
