NANOSPRINT - SMALL TIMES VIRTUAL DISPLAY TO BE ORGANIZED AT NANOCON INTERNATIONAL 2006

Grenoble, FRANCE – NanoSPRINT and Small Times will organize a Virtual Display at this year’s NanoCon International in Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, on September 20 to 22.

The NanoSPRINT-Small Times Virtual Display will take place at the Small Times NanoCon International 2006 Conference, a premier business strategy and networking event in nanotechnology. This year’s expected attendance is more than 700 business and research executives, and more than 60 companies specializing in the nanotech sector will be exhibiting.

The Virtual Display will use virtual presentations to feature the technology and products of select participating companies. Virtual presentations transpose companies’ know-how into graphical representations of the utmost impact on the audience. They will be displayed on a set of large screens that will be an important highlight of the conference.

Participating companies will benefit from a maximum impact of their presence at NanoCon 2006, and will also have the opportunity to reuse the animation for their own commercial presentations, at other exhibits, or online.

Florin Ciontu, Chief Executive Officer of NanoSPRINT said:

"We think the partnership with Small Times is an exciting opportunity to make the Virtual Exhibit series an established communication venue for the nanotechnology community."

According to Patti Glaza, Vice-President and Group Publisher at Small Times, "we are excited to be offering our sponsors and exhibitors an innovative way to demonstrate their technology to our conference attendees."
