What's to stop the DC from exhibiting anyway? I am speaking for myself, not UP Media, but I suspect that Pete would give you the booth space, provided the show wasn't already sold out. Maybe you wouldn't be able to sell the standards, but you could still promote the DC's mission -- which is a damn admirable one if you ask me. Of course, I was part of the group that established the original mission and bylaws etc. for the Designers Council and our motto then was always, Designers for Designers. Seems to me that letting an outside administrative body make the decisions goes against that original creed. But again, that's just me.

I think they have had some financial issues of late... They are trying to
influence the designers to come to the IPC events rather than attend 2
separate events...
The DC executive committee has indicated the need to have a booth at PCB
WEST and EAST... So far it has met by the IPC management with a cold
reception.
Believe me we are working on it, however we are only an advisory body of
volunteer designers and IPC holds the purse strings.
I hope we can convince them to return to the PCB West and East conferences
soon. That's where I found out about the DC and would never have even known
there was a Designers Council if they had not set up a booth there back in
2000. We should be at both events every year.
Thanks for the comment Barbara, stay tuned for further developments...

Subject: [TN] Where was the IPC for the Design Conference?
I attended the PCB Design Conference West last week and cruised the Show
Floor looking for the IPC Booth.
Alas, it was not there.
I miss it and was wanting to purchase some Specs, but could not. Past
years, the IPC has had a Presense at any Design Conference that I have
attended.
What happened? Don't they love us any more?
