COMS2006: International networking opportunity of the year - Register Now

Here’s what our past attendees are saying about COMS:

"COMS provides me with an annual global update and insights into the issues influencing the uptake of micro and nano technologies. A highlight is the more detailed regional insight into the activities, capabilities and facilities pertaining to the location in which the conference is held. But most importantly it is the networking. An exceptional opportunity to meet, exchange views, seek advise and establish collaborations. A value-adding network that assists me in the challenge of building capability and delivering commercial outcomes."
Clive Davenport
Chief Executive Officer
CRC For MicroTechnology

"Over the years COMS has developed into the world's leading conference on microsystems commercialization. The attendance, the meetings, and the off-agenda discussions are all vital to anyone interested in the business of microsystems, and COMS2006 in St. Petersburg will be no exception."
Chris Lumb
President and CEO

"The active participation in COMS and MANCEF helped me tremendously to understand the market opportunity for the MEMS technology and to develop contacts within the MST industry worldwide!" Thanks MANCEF

About COMS

The International Conference on the Commercialization of Micro and Nano Systems (COMS) is the leading annual conference on micro and nanotechnology commercialization education. It brings together leaders in the field from across the world, representing organizations and companies from almost every sector of the community. These include leading industrialists, end users, researchers, equipment vendors, customers, VC and angel investors, educators, media, professional organizations, and government. The small tech community gathers at COMS conferences to learn from others, share their own knowledge, and discuss and debate points of view - all of which contribute to the advancement of this emerging field. For everyone concerned about future economic and business development through the exploitation of MNT, COMS 2006 is a conference that cannot be missed.
