AtwoodIt s hard to believe we re here again, just a couple monthsaway from DISPLAY week 2017 . This year, the big show isin sunny and warm Los Angeles beginning on May 21 andspanning the entire week with short courses, seminars, business and market focus conferences, the InternationalSymposium, some great keynotes, and the world-class DISPLAY week Exhibition. I ll have more to say about this later on but if you have notyet made your plans to visit, you should!

9 I m sure by the time you read this, the winterrains will have ended and the southern California landscape will be vivid, bold, and aswelcoming as cover story this month celebrates the SID 2017 Honors and Awards, which arepresented each year by the Society for Information DISPLAY to honor those individualswho have made outstanding contributions to the field of displays. Here at IDwe doour best to capture the essence of their achievements in the biographies and citationsthoughtfully compiled by our own Jenny Donelan. But nothing we write can comeclose to documenting the lifetimes worth of ideas, challenges, setbacks, inspirations,and successes that these individuals have experienced on behalf of our industry.

10 As Jenny describes in this year s article, great innovation often comes from team-work and collaboration, where new ideas are born and get distilled through a processof collaboration, either intentional or accidental. Inspiration can come from the teamin your midst, or from the wider world (such as conferences like DISPLAY week ),which these days also includes the incredible on-line community that we all interactwith. Inspiration can come from students, teachers, business leaders, peers, or evenfrom a fortuitous invitation to speak at an SID meeting, as happened to one of thisyear s award winners some time ago.
