Connect the Dots: Five Best Practices for Designing Flex and Rigid-flex PCBs
Behind the Scenes with IPC Technical Conference Coordinator Toya Richardson
December 9, 2015 | Patty Goldman, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 9 minutes
Richardson: I don't. I can tell you that Kristin Scheuler, who is in charge of the conference rooms and setting all of that up for the venue, is doing a wonderful job. Kristin always does a great job with our rooms. She always amazes me when we need something like an extra room.
Goldman: That's great. It's funny you said that you don't really have any time off. I always thought that with it happening in March you would get a little break afterward, but I know that in June we're already starting to solicit papers for the next year. There really isn't any spare time, is there?
Richardson: No. There's always a back portion to it that our attendees do not see. We have to put together the call for papers. I look at that and make sure that it says what it's supposed to say and the deadlines meet what they are supposed to meet. Are we adding new topics? Are we taking any away? Are we changing names in terms of who to contact and things of that nature? That has to be done and it's a back-and-forth process before we actually put it out. Then once we put it out, we're thinking right away, “Now where are the abstracts?” All of that still takes place before June.
I'm very excited about the upcoming (IPC APEX EXPO) show, because I've never been at this venue before. This will be fun, exciting, and as always, challenging.
Goldman: Sounds good. It's always a pleasure talking with you.
Richardson: Thank you so much.

IPC Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Patty Goldman
11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.

Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
