2:00 to 2:45 p.m.Opportunities in the Electronics Market SegmentBen Arnold, Director, Industry Analyst, The nPD Group, Inc.New technologies and feature convergence are constantly influencing the market for consumer electronics products. As momentum in the market shifts towards more mobile forms of computing and other internet con-nected devices, what are the expectations for growth? How will traditional electronics product categories like desktop computers and Blu-ray disc players weather an increasingly portable and disk-free world? Beyond today, what new technologies will consumers gravitate towards and which existing markets will feel the disruption? Ben will lead a discussion centering on the present and future state of the electronics market and provide his outlook on how technology products will impact consumer lifestyles going forward.

2:45 to 3:30 p.m.A Manufacturers Perspective on the Electronics MarketDouglass Dixon, Marketing Manager, Henkel Electronic Materials LLCThe electronics world has been driven by constant change, but there is a prevailing trend throughout the industry and can be summed up as follows: smaller, faster, and more functional. The capability of many digital devices is strongly linked to Moore’s law: processing speed, memo-ry capacity and functionality. Moore’s law simple states: The numbers of transistors on an IC will double every 2 years. This exponential improvement has dramatically enhanced the impact of digital devices. This presentation takes a macro look at the effect of Moore’s law on elec-tronics devices and some of the challenges these changes are creating.

It will explore potential impacts to the manufacturing sectors including end users and supply chain.

2:45 to 3:30 p.m.The Legal Implications of Design Professional Advocacy for Sustainability and Healthujjval Vyas, Principal, Alberti Group, LLCIt is commonly assumed that one of the primary roles of the design professional is to act as an advocate for sustainability, including health impacts and outcomes related to building products, assemblies, and systems. This presentation elaborates from first principles the conditions under which design professionals, and particularly licensed architects, may advocate whether they are dealing with so-called “red lists,” green building rating products, or other aspects of sustainable building. An important outcome of this exploration is that attendees will be able to recognize that advocacy falls outside of general professional liability cov-erage and subjects the design advocate to legal liability. A solution for minimizing exposure to such risks is also presented in an easy-to-understand action plan.

3:30 to 4:00 p.m.American High Performance Buildings Coalition – An UpdateD’Lane Wisner, President, D’Lane Wisner & Associates, LLCThe American High Performance Buildings Coalition (AHPBC) came together in July 2012 and grew rapidly into a sizeable group of leading organizations representing a range of products and materials relevant to the building and construction industry that are committed to promoting performance-based energy efficiency and sustainable building standards.
