SMTA and CALCE Seeking Abstracts for 3rd Annual LED A.R.T. Symposium
May 26, 2017 | SMTAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The SMTA and CALCE are pleased to announce the LED Assembly, Reliability, and Test (A.R.T.) Symposium will take place from November 28–30, 2017 at the Archie K. Davis Conference Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
The LED Assembly, Reliability & Testing (A.R.T.) Symposium will provide attendees with information to bridge the gap between the semiconductor physics and the architectural design level issues in LED supply chain. The design, manufacturing, reliability assessment, testing and inspection of LEDs and LED lighting products are not at the same level of development and interest. The LED A.R.T. Symposium is the forum for the industry to explore the problems faced and offer solutions.
The topics of interest include but not limited to:
- LED Assembly
- LED Failure Mechanisms
- LED Packaging
- Applications
- Reliability and Testing
- Package and Board Cleaning
- Architectural/Smart Lighting
- UV and IR LEDs
- Wearable Sensors-LEDS
- LED Driver System
If you would like to present at this conference, please submit a 200-300 word abstract here by July 1, 2017. Please include a title, author name, and contact information with your abstract. You can also submit proposals for half or full day workshops.

How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
