Conferences are a great place to learn about new development in the OLED industry and meet with fellow display professionals. There are many excellent OLED events coming up in 2018 in the USA, Europe and in Asia.
The following article will detail the most prominent OLED events. If you plan on attending other events (or if you are organizing an OLED event unlisted in our event directory) be sure to comment below.
SID DisplayWeek (May 20-25, Los Angeles, USA)
The Society for Information Displays (SID) holds its annual DisplayWeek in May, and if you can only make it to one OLED conference, DisplayWeek is a top choice. The week-long activities include symposiums, seminars, courses and a 4 day exhibition. DisplayWeek 2018 is a great way to check out many OLED demonstrations and new display innovations.

Printed Electronics Europe (April 11-12, Berlin, Germany)
IDTechEx's printed electronics event is the world's largest organic, printed and flexible electronics. Usually there is not a lot of OLED specific content, but this interesting event is an excellent way to get updated on other emerging technologies as it is co-located with events focused on 3D printing, electric vehicles, energy harvesting, energy storage, graphene & 2D materials, IoT, sensors and wearables.

China International OLEDs Summit (January 25-26, Shanghai, China)
China is quickly becoming a leading OLED country, and the 7th China International OLEDs Summit may prove to be a great way to start 2018. The event is co-located with Emerging Technology 2018, a conference that is composed of four themes: Printed and Flexible Electronics, Quantum Dots, Vehicle Displays and the OLED industry. The organizers expect over 200 global experts and over 50 exhibitors.
OLED Korea 2018 (March 7-8, Seoul, South Korea)
