Event: 2017 SID Stifel DSCC Investors Conference
Location: LA Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA
Date: May 23, 2017

Vuzix President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Travers, who was recently named by Next Reality as one of the 50 people to watch in Augmented & Mixed Reality, will be presenting a corporate overview of Vuzix, as well as the emerging dynamics of Augmented Reality for enterprise and consumer markets during Session III: Innovations Driving Established & Emerging Display Technology Markets. Vuzix will also showcase the future of smart glasses and Augmented Reality products, including the M300 Smart Glasses built for enterprise use, along with the award-winning Vuzix Blade 3000 Smart Sunglasses, which feature the new waveguide optics being driven by the Company's Cobra II display engine.

"Vuzix is honored to be invited to present at the 2017 SID Stifel DSCC Investors Conference alongside other emerging and leading display technology companies," said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix.  "The adoption and technology validation of smart glasses among enterprise customers will be the first step to accessing a massive market opportunity, but for the mass market to adopt, the technology needs to disappear and become as ubiquitous as a pair of regular sun glasses."
