Smart Labels cover a huge spectrum of radically fast developing technologies and applications. In 2007 the global radio frequency identification (RFID) market is expected to be $4 billion (Source: IDTechEx Market Research) with exponential growth and use thereafter. The uses of the technology and their impact are tremendous - from improving supply chain efficiencies by a factor of ten to creating secure and more efficient airports, manufacturing and archiving. Beyond identification only, RFID is being combined with sensors to monitor the condition and status of items, and enables new markets and consumer benefits. This conference covers all these opportunities.

Day one (Monday 29 September) focuses on end users, with topics including: achieving total asset visibility: users needs and experiences; RFID in action; and the potential and future for RFID and beyond. Wal-Mart, the world�s largest company will give their only European conference appearance and will report on their RFID developments and Hewlett-Packard will give Smart Labels Europe an exclusive insight into how they are using RFID.

Day two (Tuesday 30 September) is devoted to leading suppliers, such as: Magellan, Flint Ink, Muhlbauer, Tagsys, OATSystems, Infratab, Nanoplex, Transense, and the first public announcement of disposable moving coloured displays from The Dow Chemical Company. Hear these companies present on chip RFID tag technology developments; developments in chip tag production; chip RFID system technology developments; chipless technology developments
