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?
