The opulent Hyatt Regency Hotel, world famous in countless episodes of the fabled television show Dallas, will host this global event during International Nanotechnology Week Oct. 2-3, 2008.

Long description

After two successful years in debut at the Dallas Convention Center, nanoTX’08 has bowed to popular demand and moved its location to the Hyatt Regency Dallas hotel, 300 Reunion Boulevard, downtown.

“We’ll be able to accommodate a few less exhibitors this year than we did at the Convention Center,” said Colonel Mason, Director of Publicity, “but the conference facilities are outstanding, with networking opportunities everywhere.”

Although somewhat smaller in area, the Business Hall exhibits will continue to be the exciting draw for most people, expanding on the theme The Promise of Tomorrow—The Business of Nanotechnology. Of those attending the exhibits in 2007, 48% were Nanotech Business Professionals; 39% Analysts, Engineers, Technicians, R&D; and 13% Educators. Complete 2007 demographics and footage from the Business Hall exhibits can be viewed at the web site, www.nanotx.biz

“Unlike at the sprawling Convention Center, the Hyatt Regency Dallas convention hotel has the conference rooms and Business Hall exhibits located in very close proximity, making for a more intimate setting and compounding the networking opportunities exponentially,” said Mason, “and the private hotel quarters are only some quick steps from all the action.” Conference speakers and schedules will be continuously updated at the web site throughout the months leading up to the event.

“It is difficult to describe in words the outstanding accommodations of the Hyatt Regency, with convenient cafés and numerous comfortable private networking areas close by.”

A walking tour of this year’s convention hotel can be viewed on-line at http://dallasregency.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/gallery/virtual-tour.jsp?ica...

Again this year, major sponsors include the outstanding world-wide organization of the Micro and Nanotechnology Commercialization Education Foundation (MANCEF) http://www.mancef.org, and others. Sponsors can be seen at the web site as current ones return and new ones are welcomed.

Short description

The conference provides a unique perspective on the current state of both the markets and technologies associated with nanotechnology, with particular emphasis on those areas where clear trends and business opportunities are emerging.

Long description

If you have any need to know the Who’s and How’s of nanotechnology, you’ve come to the right place. Whether business, industry, techni/science or as individuals, the promise of NanoTechnology is now profoundly effecting our future. The high level knowledge and inside information being disclosed under one roof at nanoTX ’07 is cutting edge across all fields. To not be on the cutting edge is to fall behind. The National Science Foundation reports that by 2015 nanotech will be a stampeding "$1Trillion (part of) industry" and need 800,000 new scientists. "The way you manage and exchange information and the way you learn as a company-those are your only sustainable advantages," says Robert Shapiro, chairman of Monsanto. And David Kline writes in Wired magazine "the future may become a wonderland of opportunity only for the minority among us who are affluent, mobile, and highly educated. And it may at the same time become a digital dark age for the majority of citizens-the poor, the non-college educated, and the so-called unnecessary." So come to nanoTX ’07 to learn, to see how it is all coming together and where you can belong. There’s a promise of tomorrow at this event, the business of nanotechnolog
