The event's main aim being promotion of progress and new ideas, NanoMaterials™ will follow this trend and deliver new programme structure in 2011.

New event structure

  • 2 plenary sessions
    NanoMaterials2011™ will feature the opening plenary session in the morning of day 1 and the closing plenary session in the afternoon of day 2. These sessions will present senior industry players providing real insight into key issues that affect the entire nanotechnology supply chain.
  • Parallel sessions
    In 2011, the focus of the parallel tracks will be 
    - Policy, Business & Finance
    - Synthesis and production
    - Innovations in nanomaterials
    - Characterisation and metrology & SHE

NanoMaterials™ 2011 will also feature a bigger than ever exhibition showcasing leading suppliers of services and products as well as extensive networking opportunities. These will include an evening drinks reception and 1-2-1 Networking that was launched at the last year's event for the first time and provided delegates with more efficient way of meeting people.

Donna Carson says: I had the pleasure of attending this event. It was an eye opener in more ways than one. The amount of knowledge transferred to me was phenomenal and I was introduced to some very valuable contacts and suppliers. I was also enlightened by the conversations I struck up with other attendees, who have their own amazing perspective to learn from. The story I'll remember forever involved an investor in a polymer products process who had a problem with Google's search results. Normally a search results problem deals with negative information appearing in Google's search results. In this case it was the opposite. A search for the company's name showed results too good to be true. A former partner had posted an outrageously positive review of the process, making dozens of claims that should not have been made until those claims could be proven. Some were not accurate and would never be proven true. The problem was that it appeared in the search that the company was trying to over hype its process in order at attract investors - something that sophisticated investors could spot easily. So they ended up hiring a search results removal expert to tamp down the problem search result. The expert smiled when the problem was explained to him because he expected to see harmful reviews, or hints of malfeasance - the normal stuff his company deals with. But in this case he was being asked to downplay an overzealous account of the process that exaggerated the good stuff. Hope it worked out.

I also had a conversation with an investor who knew my brother works as a graphic designer / webmaster for an affiliate site for online casinos that coincidentally he had also invested in. The conversation became compelling when joined by a couple of medical researchers who were enthusiastic online casino gamblers. One loved slot games, the other was into video poker. They were interested in which casinos were featured on this affiliate site. When I mentioned Miami Club Casino, they both exclaimed it offered some great slots for US players. The discussion then turned to WGS Technology that provides many of the games at Miami Club. One fellow said that WGS slot games feel like a combination of Rival and RTG (Real Time Gaming) software. But I protested and felt that they really have their own uniqueness and variation. Plus casinos that are powered by WGS Technology run some of the best daily, weekly and monthly online slot tournaments with some big prize pools. Everyone agreed that was true. Our lively discussion ended when it was time to return to the another session about nano materials.
From all my different interactions with the attendees, I can safely say this was a diverse group of folks.
