Attention to ALL Designers Council members
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Next year, the Design summit, Expo and Apex are all happening
at the same time, in Anaheim (Los Angeles) California
-:- February 23rd to 27th 2004
This is a rare opportunity for designers to steep themselves
deeply in the greatest electronics event IPC has done so far -
a combination of technical sessions and exhibitions that covers
design, fab and assembly under the one roof. It's a great event,
and gives every designer a chance to see, feel and hear the buzz.
It promises to be a GREAT show.
So if you want to present a paper, or have a presentation
that will be of interest to designers in this unique
setting at this unique event, have a look at the following
blurb and get your abstracts into the system.
Remember, the Designers Council is "BY DESIGNERS, FOR DESIGNERS".
Give it some thought - if you do something special in board design,
the rest of us would like to know about it.
At the same time, the Technical Program Committee is looking
for good ideas, so if there's something you would like to see
in the conference, or would like to nominate someone to make
a presentation who is interesting and doing something special,
send an email to
