Join us in Denver for the second Digital Fabrication Conference and NIP22!

The colocation of NIP22 and Digital Fabrication 2006 offers a unique opportunity for atten- dees to take advantage of two great conferences by mixing and matching technical sessions of interest. We’re making it easier to do so this year by decreasing the number of NIP ses- sions on Tuesday thru Thursday to accommodate the Digital Fabrication technical sessions and encourage more “cross fertilization.” We hope that this alteration in the program from last year, combined with all technical events taking place in a single venue, makes it easier for attendees of both conferences to listen to papers on a wide variety of topics.

Colocation of the conferences also allows IS&T to provide participants with a • rich array of informative tutorials • high-quality exhibits • timely keynotes • special panel on intellectual property • Welcome and Conference Receptions • opening at Walker Fine Art featuring the work of speakers from the Digital Art Session just for NIP/DF attendees, as well as the yearly NIP Print and Art Gallery • Tour and BBQ at iTi Corp.’s headquarters • Thursday Luncheon Interactive Session • Friday morning Breakfast Plenary

When you register for either conference, you gain admission to the other. This year we’re also offering a specially-scheduled series of tutorials that save attendees at least 25% off those purchased singlely. See details on pages 3 and 32.

To facilitate planning your time, we’ve color coded the technical sessions of this booklet as shown below. Joint events are noted as such and both those of a technical and social nature are found within the technical program in boxes marked “Special Event.”

Digital Fabrication 2006 Session/Focus NIP22 Session/Focus

If you work in the fields of digital fabrication, non-impact printing, or any related technology, Digital Fabrication 2006 and NIP22 are the conferences to attend!

We look forward to seeing you in Denver!
