IPC Offers New Design Conference
April 23, 2008 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
IPC -- Association Connecting Electronics Industries -- announces a design conference including educational courses, technical presentations, designer certification workshops and tabletop displays that will give designers a step up on current industry trends and knowledge necessary to succeed. Sponsored by the IPC Designers Council, the educational courses will run June 23-24, 2008, the technical conference and displays will be held June 25, and the designer certification workshops will take place June 26-28 at the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />CourtyardMarriottMontrealAirport in Montreal.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The conference will offer exposure to the latest advancements in a host of design technologies that will give designers the edge they need to help keep their companies innovative and profitable. "Networking opportunities will also be an important part of this event," notes Jean Hebeisen, IPC Designers Council and professional development director. Educational workshop presenter and IPC director of technology transfer, Dieter Bergman, adds, "This seminar presents a valuable opportunity to share ideas and experiences that offer useful, real-world solutions to today's design challenges."
Dr. Eric Bogatin, president of Bogatin Enterprises, will join Bergman to lead the workshop on the manufacturability characteristics of the printed board and assembly, discussing the electrical implications of following only the DfM rules, and examining the optimum manufacturing solutions versus the most desirable for electrical performance. The workshop will also look at many of the important problems that occur during the design development phase and correlate these through the physical design of component packages, connectors, backplanes, and printed board stack-up conditions.
