X-Rite, a global leader in color science and technology, and its subsidiary Pantone have announced that they will be participating in ICC DevCon 2014.

Principle software engineer James Vogh will be the featured speaker at the conference, which is set to take place on November 3 at Harvard University.

X-Rite will also have other color experts on hand to discuss color issues, concerns and ideas with attendees, and it will be showcasing a variety of solutions designed to enhance the measurement, management and communication of color.

“We are proud that the ICC has selected Mr. Vogh to speak at this important conference,” says Martin Beyer, vice president of software development at X-Rite. “X-Rite and Pantone are synonymous with color, and we will have a number of new and important color-related developments to share with the group as it explores the impact of the ICC’s extensive iccMAX project.”
