Irvine, Calif. (July 7, 2006) - A recent article from CMP Technology announced that the RFID Germany Conference & Exhibition will take place October 9-10 at the Frankfurt Marriott Hotel. For the second year in a row the conference will focus on RFID (radio frequency identification) and advanced track and trace technology solutions.

RFID Germany is produced in conjunction with CMP-WEKA, the German-based publisher of Information Week, Network Computing and other leading Information Technology publications and events. CMP Technology produces RFID World, the U.S. based annual technology exhibition that is the largest event in the world focused on RFID and other identification, location and sensing solutions.

"Much of the innovation in RFID adoption is taking place in Germany, especially in the pharmaceutical, retail, manufacturing and logistics industry sectors. The event offers practical information in these applications, as well as information about the benefits of RFID for the Solution Provider community as well as enterprise managers seeking new solutions for asset management," said Timothy Downs, Vice President of CMP Technology's Applied Technology Group. "By locating the event in Frankfurt, a cross-roads city in Europe, the event will appeal to a wide range of corporate, healthcare and government executives seeking quality and practical information about RFID technology."

Attendees will learn from experts, see demonstrations of actual solutions and network face-to-face with supplier partners, delivering the full breadth and scope of RFID and advanced track-and-trace solutions.

Speaking applications are now being accepted for the conference. Speaker submissions can be made online at www.scievents.com/rfideu06.
