Welcome Participants

On behalf of the IEEE IFETC Organizing Committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you to join us in the 2018 IEEE International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IEEE IFETC 2018) between August 7 – 9, 2018 at the Delta Hotel City Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The conference provides attendees with a unique opportunity to share, discuss and witness new concepts, new ideas and know-hows in all areas of flexible electronics technologies and their applications, including but not limiting to the followings.
- Flexible transistors
- Flexible photovoltaics
- Flexible RFID and NFC Devices
- Flexible antennas and microwave devices
- Flexible energy harvesting
- Flexible sensors
- Flexible lighting and displays
- Smart textiles and wearables
- Chips and circuit design for flexible electronics
- Novel materials and processes for flexible electronics
The conference offers 7 plenary/keynotes, 7 tutorials, >30 invited talks by world renowned experts, 3 workshops and more than 90 contributed technical presentations.

The Ottawa Region (also known as Silicon Valley North) is Canada's top hub of technological innovation, enterprise and research, making it an ideal location for hosting IFETC 2018. Located in the heart of downtown Ottawa - and steps away from the Rideau Canal, Parliament Hill,

Byward Market, and much more - the Delta Hotel is perfectly suited for a worldclass conference like IFETC 2018 to provide you with access to the best that Ottawa has to offer. Please consider the benefits of participation. We're looking forward to seeing you in Ottawa,

Canada for IEEE IFETC in 2018!
Best Regards,
Dr. George Xiao and Dr. Samar Saha
IEEE IFETC 2018 General Co-Chairs
