October 9, 1995
TO: ALL PWB MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS
SUBJECT: AT THE IPC FALL MEETING TWO OF THE MOST CRITICAL TOPICS
YOU FACE TODAY WILL BE FEATURED SESSIONS:
TESTING AND MATERIAL SHORTAGES
Dear Colleague:
We are writing to invite you to the 1995 IPC Fall Meeting being
held October 28 - November 1, 1995, at The Westin Hotel
Providence in Providence, Rhode Island.
We have a very exciting meeting planned and would like to take
this opportunity to share with you two critical topics facing our
industry.
TESTING SESSION
On Monday, October 30, from 8:45 am to 5:00 pm a special
roundtable session will be held on "Is Testing Testing the Limits
of the PWB Manufacturer?" The presidents/key officers of the
seven leading test manufacturing companies will address the
questions you have on electrical testing. Companies with
alternative test technologies will also participate.
MATERIAL SHORTAGES FORUM
You've all probably read about material shortages. Are they real?
What's causing them? On Tuesday, October 31, from 1:00 to 3:00
pm, there will be a special "Material Shortages Forum." Top
management representatives from the glass, weaver, copper foil,
and resin supply companies will discuss the issue of shortages
and how this will affect the printed circuit industry.
Don't miss this opportunity to get involved! For additional
details on these important meetings, please review the enclosed
agendas. If you would like additional information on the IPC Fall
Meeting call us at (708) 509-9700 and we will send you a complete meeting
announcement.
We look forward to seeing you in Providence.
