I have been sent details of this conference, some museum-lers may be interested. We are not connected with this at all, so please direct any questions to the email address below. My apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message. David Dawson * * * TAG EUROPE - THE PREMIER INTERNATIONAL EVENT IN RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION The tracking and tracing of diverse items such as human beings, pets, museum exhibits, clothing, and pharmaceuticals are becoming as essential as automotive and computer control proliferates. What is confusing is which tag does what? Can the data change? What costs? What frequencies? Until now, there has been no central event, which will enable potential users of this exciting new technology to obtain awareness of how RFID can help their business. Organisers, Baltic Conventions UK, recognised the gap in this expanding market and are delighted to present TAG Europe 98 - the first ever event devoted entirely to RFID and the only event of its kind in Europe. The conference, which takes place from 24 to 26 June 1998 at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza, Antwerp, will offer delegates the opportunity to obtain an exclusive overview of RFID technology and the key developments taking place that will carry this dynamic industry through to the next millennium. TAG Europe will also give delegates an invaluable opportunity to network key with the key decision-makers within the RFID industry. Users of automatic tagging devices will also have the chance to meet with manufacturers and providers of RFID technology in the TAG Europe 98 Exhibition, which takes place alongside the conference at the Holiday Inn from 24 to 26 June. Amongst the high-profile organisations presenting throughout the three- day convention are: Phillips Semiconductors Gratkorn GmbH, Texas Instruments, The RFID Consortium, AIM Europe, AIM International, Symbology Strategy Inc, AMTECH, Omron Europe, MICRON Communications, Diamond Checkpoint, European Radio Communication Office, Book Industry Study Group, Bolt Consult, Eurodata, Uniform Code Council Dayton; First Group Southampton City Bus, and Intermec. Conference places are also restricted to a first-come first-served basis.
