It will also offer a site tour of Kodak's manufacturing facilities.

The Kodak Imagecare Program was initiated in 1996 for the purpose of
assisting laboratories in implementing the procedures and processes required
for reliable and consistent processing quality. Admittance as a member to the
program recognizes that a lab has implemented the many procedures and checks required to meet its requirements.

"Our goal for this worldwide conference is to provide an opportunity for key laboratory personnel to share their experiences and work together toward a better understanding of issues, both technological and business related,” explains Bill Tompkins, GM of the motion picture film group of Kodak's Entertainment Imaging Division. “We also view it as another opportunity for Kodak to listen to our customers so that we can continue developing tools for the future."

Kodak will host the event from September 18 to 21, 2006.
