Limited Seating at EIPC 50th Anniversary Conference
May 30, 2018 | Alun Morgan, EIPC ChairmanEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The past, the present and the future—these are the three elements of EIPC’s 50th anniversary conference being held in Dusseldorf, Germany, from June 21–22. Half a century has passed since EIPC was founded in the days when the PCB was more than just a commodity.
At the upcoming conference, there will be a first-class show with the conference on Day 1, culminating with a visit to Unimicron’s new multilayer factory in Geldern, the Tate Modern of the European PCB industry. This will be followed by a celebration dinner at the 14th Century listed and moated Walbeck Castle.
Day 1 will be the occasion in which Paul Waldner looks back over 50 years in the industry, while Hans Friedrichkreit unveils his metric crystal ball to compete with the imperial one that Walt Custer usually produces. From then on, there will be a wealth of technological discussions on topics such as traceability, PCB 4.0, and halogen-free laminates.
Day 2 is dedicated to flex for 5G, curved and stretchable PCBs, open-source language, organic surface preservatives, and lab-on-PCB technology, as well as the traditional glimpses into developments in applications, chemistries and supply chain management.
