IPC Invites Industry Leaders to Submit Poster Abstracts for ECWC16 and IPC APEX EXPO 2024
October 24, 2023 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
IPC invites technical innovators, students engaged in research, academic researchers, and industry leaders to submit abstracts for technical poster presentations for the 16th Electronic Circuits World Convention (ECWC16) at IPC APEX EXPO 2024. Dedicated poster presentation networking session and poster judging are scheduled for April 9 from 5:00-6:00 pm. Once again, poster presentations will take place on the APEX EXPO show floor, maximizing visibility from an audience of industry peers.
To recognize exceptional achievement, the IPC Technical Program Committee (TPC) will judge posters during the poster session to award the “Best Technical Poster” award. New this year, a “Best Student Poster” scholarship will be awarded. For poster presentations, ECWC16 and IPC seek abstracts that describe original and unpublished results from research experiments, highlight merits of new techniques or materials as compared to alternate technologies, and/or under varying conditions. Posters should include data to support the technical content and must adhere to IPC’s non-commercialism policy.
Technical poster presentations are being sought on all relevant electronics topics, including design, materials, assembly, processes and equipment, especially:
- Quality, Reliability, Test, and Inspection
- Design
- PCB Fabrication and Materials
- HDI, uHDI and Substrates
- Electronic Assembly Materials
- Assembly Processes
- Factory of the Future Implementation
- High Reliability for Extreme Requirements
- Sustainability for Electronics
- Emerging Technologies
- Market Trends and Outlook
The Electronic Circuits World Convention (ECWC16) is an international PCB symposium held every three years, in different cities worldwide. ECWC provides a valuable platform to encourage knowledge sharing about the latest information on global PCB demand, PCB manufacturing processes, and to promote the domestic PCB industry in every country and every region.
The industry’s premier conference and exhibition for the electronics industry, IPC APEX EXPO provides presenters and their companies with a notable and cost-effective opportunity to promote their expertise and gain visibility with key engineers, managers, and executives from all segments of the industry worldwide.
All submissions must be non-commercial, summarizing original and previously unpublished work covering case histories, research, and discoveries.
