Jack,
We'd certainly like to bring IPC certification back to the PCB Design Conferences. I think they had their biggest CID class ever at PCB West one year.
Maybe if enough designers ask IPC very politely, they'll bring certification back to the PCB Design Conferences. We get lots of requests for it, that's for sure.

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.
