For over 15 years, PARC, a Xerox company has a strong track record in developing and applying scalable additive manufacturing to electronics and cleantech. At this event, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about PARC's exciting work -- some of which has been commercialized -- in printed electronics, which includes integrated circuit systems and sensors, and in CoEx technology, which includes printing gridlines on solar cells and printing structured battery electrodes. Finally, attendees will get a glimpse into where PARC is headed in the future.

Presenters:
Janos Veres, Program Manager joined PARC to manage its Printed Electronics team. His current interests are in combining disruptive material, process, and device technologies -- for printed, flexible circuits; sensor and memory arrays; batteries and display devices -- all with a focus on early commercialization opportunities. Janos has experience in components such as novel printed circuits, organic transistors, and printable semiconductors; applications such as OLEDs, displays, and RFID; as well as printing/coating technologies including electrophotography, flexography, and offset printing.
Before joining PARC, Janos was the CTO at PolyPhotonix, where he developed radically new process technologies for OLED devices. Prior to that, he worked at Eastman Kodak as their Program Manager of Printed Electronics. Janos also played a key role in establishing and managing several joint development projects with major electronic and printing OEMs when he was a Business Research Associate at Merck Chemicals (formerly Avecia); in addition to generating direct revenue, these projects also led to several World’s first demonstrators built using novel electronic materials. Janos also set up unique pilot production lines for solution coating when he was responsible for Organic Photoreceptor development at Gestetner Byfleet.
An author on over 20 patents and 40 publications, Janos has published key findings in the physics of organic semiconductor materials such as interface phenomena and the use of blends and phase separation. Dr. Janos Veres holds a Ph.D. in Solid State Electronics from Imperial College in London and an MSc in Physical Electronics with distinction from Lviv Technical University in Ukraine.
Leon Wong, Director, Market Strategy at PARC.
With an extensive background in business, product development, and entrepreneurship in the high-tech industry, Leon develops product and commercialization strategies and evaluates emerging technologies and market opportunities at PARC. He currently focuses on the areas of digital manufacturing, mobile health, cleantech & energy and advanced electronics.
Before joining PARC, Leon was a director at Microchip Technology, where he led a team responsible for product management, product marketing, and worldwide business development. Prior to Microchip, he was a chip design lead at several networking semiconductor startups, including Centillium Communications, which went IPO in year 2000.
Leon received his MBA from Harvard Business School and B.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley. He has six U.S. patents.

Refreshments Sponsor – Fabricastl (www.fabricastl.com)
About Fabricastl - In the future, we will program our physical reality. To bring concepts into reality, it will be effortless, intuitive and instantaneous. Creativity will rule and ideas will be the currency that matters. At Fabricastl, we believe in this vision and that it will be made possible by 3d printing.
A central goal of Fabricastl is to accelerate the adoption of 3d printing to manifest this future state now. We believe that market-based competition is the best way to achieve this acceleration. Alongside that competition, the adoption of 3d printing is vitally dependent on the nurturing of creativity, connection and collaboration.
Fabricastl will provide the world’s most comprehensive marketplace for 3d printing. To truly harness the power of 3D printing a new type of marketplace is required – one that the world has never seen. Fabricastl has invented this marketplace and it is finishing development right now.
To fuel the exchange, Fabricastl will also provide a unique environment for makers and innovators to connect. Knowledge sharing and mentoring will be encouraged. Collaboration on large 3d printing projects will be easily fostered in this environment.
Fabricastl is poised to change the world with 3D printing.
