SMK Technical Exposition, "TEXPO2008"

We are pleased to announce that we are holding the SMK Technical Exposition, “TEXPO2008,” for 3 days from Wednesday, June 4 through Friday, June 6, 2008 at the Manyo Banquet Room of the Le MERIDIAN PACIFIC TOKYO hotel situated in Shinagawa City, Tokyo. This is going to be the seventh exposition since 1985 when the first exposition was held. TEXPO 2008 will be a venue, under the slogan of “Vision to Creation, It’s Our Challenge”, featuring displays and demonstrations of about 350 items representing our new products and new technologies, which are outcomes of our research and development efforts, as well as near future technologies, and evaluation technologies for various analyses. Exhibits will be separated into zones such as digital entertainment, automotive electronics, communications, living, industry, near future, production technology, evaluation technology and ecology. There will be static display, demonstration, and video showings in each zone. The exposition will offer conferences for the three days from 4th through 6th.
