One theme I saw throughout the conference, but particularly in the Thursday poster session, is the desire to decrease the cost of producing any given structure. One common method seems to be ink jet printng of structures, but each poster had it's own unique flavor with regard to technique or material types. I know that this is a hot topic right now-- what if, instead of cleanroom processing that requires special training, expensive tooling, and the use of harsh chemicals, anyone with a printer could print circuits or other devices? It's an interesting concept, and I can understand why it is such a popular topic.
