Hit the Deck!
Save the third week in May next year to attend our 27^th Annual Toners & Photoreceptors seminar on May 17 to 19, 2010. In view of the overwhelming approval of the L.A. Harbor venue, this event will once again be held at the elegant Marina del Rey Marriott Hotel.

There, alongside a harbor filled with yachts and sailing vessels, The Tiara Group, LLC will convene a Panel of top scientists and market analysts to present the focused Sessions that address this industry's most crucial issues.

Among these is a spotlight on Asia, which Art Diamond has called the New Frontier for the imaging industry. While American and European markets languish in low sales and zero or negative growth, Asia’s toner industry is expanding at an impressive rate in China, India, Indonesia and Southeast Asia. That’s where the growth is and where suppliers of raw materials, plant equipment and consulting services are swarming.

Our Flagship Seminar!  
Once again the format in 2010 will be user-friendly Monday-Wednesday Program. It’s our flagship seminar, remodeled and refitted to better serve our voyagers.

Since 1984, this unique Imaging Materials Series has attracted industry players worldwide to assemble for discussions on the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-business. Be an active participant by attending, networking, exhibiting or sponsoring an activity at this unique international event.

Asia: The New Frontier  is the theme chosen for this Seminar and will be the topic of the Keynote Address to be delivered by one of the industry’s top players.

Color and chemically produced toner (CPT) issues will again take center stage as price points continue to shrink for laser-based color copiers and printers. Color markets will be among the issues assessed by well-known analysts, as will be the legal issues concerning intellectual property rights in the U.S. and abroad.  We’ll also compare markets in China and India with those in the Western world in terms of size, growth and accessibility. We’ll give you the opportunity to learn about equipment for rounding, or spheroidizing conventional mechanically produced toners (CMT and the introduction of new, colorless charge control agents (CCAs) for black and color toners.

This powerful, cutting edge program will once again bring together the world's leading producers of dry and liquid toners, carriers, and developers, as well as photoreceptor drums and belts and other machine components for the imaging industry.

Join us at the Marina del Rey Marriott Hotel in May 2010 and you'll find yourself exploring these issues along with the industry's top executives, front line managers, scientists, engineers, market analysts and strategists. Because they are highly interactive, our limited attendance conferences are unequaled in information transfer and networking opportunities.
