Since I have never been there,
what made it FAR superior?

For my $0.02 ... Having attended the APEX/Designers Summit for the first
time this year, I must admit it is a FAR superior event to PCB West. And
I say that as one whose employment is in Silicon Valley, home of PCB
West.

I just got an update from the IPC conference, which
seemed to be glowing with optimism, but one statistic
kinda jumped out at me:
Anaheim, CA- The IPC Printed Circuits Expo and
APEX show ended on Thursday with an estimated
attendance of approximately 1,000 visitors.
1000 visitors?
Did someone move a decimal point or accidentally delete
a zero or something?
This show combines APEX and IPC. Doesn't that include
designers AND Fabrication people AND assembly people?
Sheesh, there's gotta be a thousand people related to this industry
within WALKING distance of Anaheim!
Well, maybe that means a whole heckuva lot of people
waited for the PCB Design Conference next week in
Santa Clara, I sure hope so!
(That's where I'll be this time next week... can't wait!)
I know I'm not the only one who has a limited travel budget, and I can't
attend everything that sounds worthwhile. (Sometimes you just gotta
choose, ya know what I mean?) But it sure would be easier if we could
ease up on the splintering and division between us.
Do we really need TWO conferences?
Maybe its time we went back to the good old days, when
we had a PCB Design Conference for a couple of days and
you could get your IPC CID training and have a software
User Group meeting ALL AT THE SAME PLACE.
whaddya think?
huh?
yeah.
